Phase 1 of the Water Main Replacement Project is Complete!

6/19/2023

With the exception of a few minor follow-up items that will be addressed in the next few weeks, Phase 1 of the Town's water main replacement project is complete! Reaching this milestone was a multiyear process that could not have been accomplished without the efforts of the previous and current Mayor, Clerk, Public Works Director, and Councilmembers; COP Construction; Wharton Asphalt; and Great West Engineering. Most importantly, we thank the residents and businesses of Richey--particularly those who were directly affected by the Phase 1 work--for their patience, understanding, and adaptability during these past two months and for helping to maintain safe construction areas for the workers and for our citizens.

We expect to receive approval for our final Phase 2 grant funds very soon, and we hope to complete the bidding process this fall, with the next round of water main updates tentatively scheduled for next spring. Phase 2 will focus on Second Street West and Second Street East.

In the meantime, if you have any problems or concerns with your new curb stops or water service, or with any touch-up work that should have been done to your front yards or driveways, please call the Town Office at (406) 773-5634 BY NOON ON FRIDAY, JUNE 23.
