Phase 2 of Miller Mountain Water Project Completed | |
The second phase of the Miller Mountain Water Project has been completed. The project brings public water service to customers along Fairview Rd, Big Sycamore Rd and along State Route 20. The contractor on the project has been Pro Contracting Inc of Clarksburg, WV. Phase 1 of the project connected with the water line at the Back Fork of Elk and the Drybed Road intersection near the Back Fork cemetery and continued up Drybed Road to Fairview Rd. From there, it continued along Fairview and Airport Roads to the intersection of Route 20 and Low Gap Road and included over 20,000 feet of 8" main, 22,000 feet of 6" main, 6,000 feet of 2" main, 20 fire hydrants, 2 booster stations and 2 water storage tanks.
The Miller Mountain project, with a total cost of over $4,000,000 including both phases, was built through a partnership of the Webster County Economic Development Authority, the Webster County Commission and the West Virginia-American Water Company. The majority of the funding was from a grant from the federal Abandoned Mine Lands program administered through the WV Department of Environmental Protection. Operation and maintenance of the water system is being handled by the West Virginia-American Water Company. |
