Current Project Report Summary
SGWASA continued to move forward on several engineering, regulatory, and infrastructure priorities during May 2026. Current work remains focused on long-term system reliability, regulatory readiness, water quality improvements, and responsible capital project delivery.
Key updates include continued advancement of the PFAS Mitigation Strategies Program, with design moving toward the 60% milestone and additional funding support identified. The I-85 SSI remains active, with Construction Package 1 (CP1) and Construction Package 2 (CP2) both reported on schedule and within budget. The Creedmoor water meter replacement program is now 53% complete and remains on track for completion by August 1, 2026.
Additional progress includes completion of the Water Treatment Plant filter media and nozzle replacement project, ongoing Lead and Copper service line verification work, continued planning for water quality improvements, and preparation for the Golden Pond unidirectional hydrant flushing pilot once weather and water supply conditions allow.
Central Avenue and A Street will close beginning Monday, July 6, 2026, at 9:00 AM to support I-85 SSI construction work in Butner. The closure is scheduled for up to 30 days, with detour signs posted locally and on I-85; motorists should use I-85 Exit 191 to access Butner.
