The City of Hendersonville will soon begin construction of the Ashe Street Neighborhood and 4th Avenue Water and Sewer Replacement project. This project will replace and rehabilitate aging water and sewer infrastructure, some of which has been in operation for over 100 years.
This construction project will involve water main and sanitary sewer main replacement and rehabilitation in the following areas:
- 7th Avenue from Boxcar Street to Elm Street (Ashe Street Neighborhood)
- 4th Avenue from North Pine Street to Williams Street
- Williams Street from 4th Avenue to 1st Avenue
New water and sewer mains will be constructed by open trenching within streets. Rehabilitated sewer mains will be lined using Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) technology. The rehabilitation process will not include trench excavation. The included map shows where these construction tasks will be performed in the Ashe Street Neighborhood.
While this construction project will improve our water and sewer systems, there will be brief interruptions to water and sewer services as connections are made to the new infrastructure. We apologize for the inconvenience that these interruptions may cause. Hendersonville Water & Sewer will notify affected customers in advance to prepare for planned service interruptions. Unplanned service interruptions may occur because of construction, and the utility will communicate with customers as information is available.
To receive notifications, customers should ensure their contact information is up to date on their account at https://hvlnc.authoritypay.com/ or by contacting customer service at 828-697-3052.
During construction roadway lane closures may occur specifically in areas of open trench construction. Currently, street closures are not anticipated in the project area.
If you would like to discuss this project with the project team, please attend the drop-in meeting at the historic train depot located at 650 Maple Street, Hendersonville, NC on Wednesday, November 6, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the City of Hendersonville by email or phone.
