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
In 2025, the utility completed phase one of a three-phase, 5-mile water main project; phase two is now underway. The main will run east-west along 99th Street, from NW Lakeshore Ave to NE St. Johns Road. Once finished, this 30-inch pipeline will serve as a backbone, sustainably delivering 17 million gallons per day from the county’s western edge to communities in the far north and east. The project will improve pressure and flow, ensuring reliable access to clean drinking water for current and future residents.
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 began in June 2026 and estimated completion is scheduled for this winter.
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!
