West Park Road water main extension approved

A long-planned project to tie two water mains in Elizabethtown together was authorized this week for a possible late spring finish.

Elizabethtown City Council awarded the contract Monday for the West Park Road water main extension to Hudson-based Horsley Construction at $232,500.

City Engineer Scott Reynolds said the project will connect the water main at the industrial park on West Park Road to a water main on Ring Road.

“It’s been in the planning stages for years,” to reinforce pressure, Reynolds said.

The city hopes to wrap up the project by late May, he added.
