About the project
The Washington and Main Water Improvements project replaced 3,000 feet of critical water main infrastructure under Washington Street and Main Street, some of the oldest water distribution pipes in the City of Dover that were installed in the late 1800s. The contractor installed a new ductile iron pipe that will provide reliable water service for the next 100-plus years.

The remaining items for the project are sidewalk restoration and the repaving of the roads.
