The Buckhannon Water Department Announces Meade Street Project – Intermittent Street Closures to Take Place

BUCKHANNON, WV: The Buckhannon City Water Department is beginning an important project on Meade Street. The project involves installing a new 6″ water line and fire hydrants, replacing the old 4” cast iron main currently in use.

The Water Department anticipates no disruption to customer water service during this project. After Part 1 is completed, we will post a new notification for Part 2, which involves transferring all the customers’ water services to the new water main.

Due to this project, Intermittent street closures will occur, beginning on or around March 12, 2024, and continuing through the spring and summer months of 2024.  While we cannot announce specific dates for the temporary street closures, we can provide the order for the phases.

⦁ Phase 1 of the project will be from College Ave to Latham Street.

⦁ Phase 2 will be from Latham Street to Lightburn Street.

⦁ Phase 3 will be from Lightburn Street, including Madison Street, and continuing to South Florida Street.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this vital water line upgrade project.
