Description
UPDATES:
- Upcoming Construction: Construction is scheduled to occur in 2027. Customers located near the construction area will receive advance notification of the project by email, text message, automated phone call, and postcard.
- Condition Assessments: During summer 2025, TVWD will perform condition assessments and gather survey information on water mains next to SW Pfaffle Street to see if this is a good opportunity to expand the project area. After these inspections are finished, we’ll decide which mains need replacement and begin designing those upgrades. Any additional pipe replacements would be built as part of the Pfaffle project.
Project Overview
A contractor for TVWD will be replacing:
-
About 5,400 feet of 8-inch water main on SW Pfaffle St., from SW 82nd Ave. to Pacific Hwy.
-
The 6-inch water main along SW 81st Ave.
-
The4-inch water main along SW 82nd Ave.

Project Benefits
Sections of the current water main under Pfaffle St., 81st Ave., 82nd Ave., 83rd Ave., and Steve St. have experienced multiple leaks. The project will improve the water system in this area by:
- Boosting reliability: The new main will be stronger and less likely to leak, helping prevent service interruptions.
- Improving water flow: The larger, modern mains can move more water at higher pressure to homes and hydrants in the neighborhood.
- Enhancing fire protection: Firefighters will have better access to water for emergency response.
