Larchmont Water Main Construction Almost Finished

Larchmont Avenue will be back to normal in two weeks as construction wraps up on the water main stretching from North Lincoln to Ravenswood avenues.

The Department of Water Management installed 1,034 feet of 8-inch water main along the stretch because the old pipelines was more than 100 years old.

Jim Poole, the community specialist for Ward 47 Ald. Ameya Pawar, said that water main has had six leaks in the last two years.

With a concrete-pouring deadline of Nov. 1, Poole estimated the project would finish by mid-October at the latest.
