Purpose
Clark Public Utilities provides water service to over 40,000 homes and businesses in unincorporated Clark County. As a part of our commitment to providing reliable and safe water service to customers living in the Hazel Dell service area now and into the future, the utility has identified a series of system improvement projects to address safety, water capacity availability and to support future population growth in the area.
Benefits
The 4.3-mile stretch of water main running east-west along 99th Street, from NW Lakeshore Ave to NE St. Johns Road is ready for an update. The existing water main consists of a combination of different pipe diameters (including 10in, 16in, 24in) and will be updated to a 30in water main across the full length to provide adequate and reliable service for the growing area. You may recall in recent history there have been some disruptive pipe-breaks along this section. The new 30 inch main line will increase system reliability and help to minimize future disruptions along this 4.3-mile stretch of NW 99th Street.
Timeline & Status Updates
This project is scheduled to happen in phases to minimize local impacts. Work on phase one, which included the section of NW 99th between NW Lakeshore and just west of NW 4th, is complete.
Phase two will span from just west of NW 4th and extend to NE 25th. Phase two’s state environmental policy notice of determination of nonsignificance has been filed and we anticipate construction on phase two to begin Summer 2026. As we get closer, this timeline will be updated.
We are making every effort to ensure work happening in school-zones occurs mostly during school breaks. We’ll update this page with updates or new information. Thanks for your patience as we work!
