In its continued effort to modernize infrastructure and enhance service reliability for customers, SCV Water will begin construction on its Newhall Avenue Pipeline Replacement project on Monday, Aug. 18.

The project will install approximately 815 feet of eight-inch and 24-inch ductile iron pipe, replacing eight-inch cast iron pipe that was installed in 1967.

SCV Water crews will complete the installation of the pipeline and appurtenances, reducing the overall cost of the project. Surface restoration will be completed by R.C. Becker following construction.

During construction hours only, Newhall Avenue will be closed in both directions from the Roundabout south to Railroad Avenue. A detour will be in place and motorists are advised to use Railroad Avenue, 5^th Street, 6^th Street, and Market Street to navigate around the closure. Project details can be found below:
