City of Statesville to Begin Major Waterline Replacement Project

Last Updated 2/12/2025Posted in Latest City News, Homepage

Wednesday, February 5, 2025 2:01pm - The City of Statesville is launching a major water infrastructure improvement project to replace approximately 5.7 miles of aging waterlines. Originally installed in the 1940s, these cast iron pipes will be upgraded with modern, more efficient waterlines to improve service reliability and reduce the risk of water main breaks. The project will begin in March 2025 and is expected to be completed by September 2026.

The waterline replacement will take place between the Statesville Water Treatment Plant and Iredell Memorial Gardens (US-21 South). This investment will enhance the city’s ability to deliver a clean, reliable water supply to residents and businesses while improving water flow and efficiency.

Construction will take place Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Temporary lane and road closures will be required in certain areas to speed up the work, but roads will be reopened at the end of each workday when possible.

Residents and businesses in affected areas will be notified before work begins, and typical heavy equipment noise can be expected.

The estimated $23,252,099 project is funded by the City of Statesville and a grant from the NC Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Infrastructure, supported by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.

Ensuring access to safe and reliable water is a top priority. Replacing these aging waterlines is a proactive step toward improving water quality, reducing service disruptions, and strengthening the city’s infrastructure for the future.
