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 fire protection and help to minimize future disruptions along this 4.3-mile stretch of NW 99th Street.
Timeline & Status Updates
Work is scheduled to happen in phases to minimize local impacts. 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. Construction on phase two is scheduled to begin June 2026.
We are making every effort to minimize impacts for the businesses along the corridor and near the I-5 on and off ramps. Some work will be done at night and freeway access will be maintained for the duration of the project. We’ll update this page with updates and more information as construction begins. Thanks for your patience as we work!
