About 3,360 feet of the existing water main on Chase Hammock Road, from North Courtenay Parkway to Judson Road, is being upsized from the current 4-inch and 6-inch pipe to 8-inch ductile iron pipe.

The $1,268,563 project officially started on January 3 and is estimated to be completed by November, 14.
