Van Buren Water Main Project,
Wilmington, DE

HFA manages and executes the public outreach aspect of this multi-million dollar project. In July 2007, the City of Wilmington began construction on a new 24” water main, which is located underneath the roadbed of Van Buren Street. New service connections to the 24” water main will also be made. Once the 24” water main is in service, an existing 48” water main will be sliplined to lengthen its service life. Once the entire water main project is complete, the City will repave the roadbed.

HFA works with a multi-disciplinary Project Team to update neighborhood stakeholders, including property owners, renters, and senior care facilities about the water main construction progress. HFA organizes meetings to educate the public about the project scope, prepares E-newsletters to provide updated construction schedules, and reviews construction documents to ensure they address community’s concerns.
