The EPCOR water main replacement along Palisades Boulevard is ahead of schedule and is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year.
“While the project was originally expected to be completed in April 2027, we have been able to accelerate construction and now expect the new water main and all tie-ins to be in service by December 2026,” a spokesman from EPCOR said.
The project includes approximately 1.5 miles of new water main between Shea Boulevard and Sunridge Drive and represents a significant investment in Fountain Hills’ water infrastructure.
“The upgrades are designed to improve reliability, strengthen fire protection capacity and reduce the likelihood of future service disruptions,” the company says.
Construction began April 21 and aimed at a long-term solution after a series of breaks in 2025.
