“Over the next few months, we are investing $52 million in pipe
replacement across St. Louis County to increase service reliability
for our customers and enhance fire flow for our firefighters,” said
Missouri American Water President Rich Svindland.
Several major thoroughfares including W. Florissant Avenue, Page
Avenue, Dale Avenue, N. Lindbergh Boulevard, MacKenzie Road, and S.
Laclede Station Road are slated for water main improvements.
“Maintaining water mains are equally as important as maintaining
our roads and bridges,” said St. Louis County Councilwoman Rita
Heard Days. “Residents in the community will benefit by having
safe, reliable water when they turn on the tap.”
The company is upgrading old 4-inch, 6-inch and 8-inch mains
originally installed between the 1920s-1960s to new 12-inch and
16-inch ductile iron mains along the following streets:
- More than 9,000 feet along Page Avenue between Crystal
Ct. to Spencer Avenue in Overland. Missouri American Water is
working in conjunction with the Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT). Work will occur from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. from
Monday to Saturday for water main installations. There will be lane
drops west of I-170. Crews may switch to nightwork for any major
street or intersection.

Elmgrove Avenue to Charbonier Road in Hazelwood and Florissant.
