KC Water this year plans to replace aging, break-prone water mains, some of which are more than a century old, on State Line Road from 51st to 55th streets, south of Brush Creek and east of Wornall Road, and on the Country Club Plaza from Jefferson Street to Mill Street Parkway. This work is part of KC Water’s comprehensive master plan to reduce water main breaks, increase reliability, and improve fire protection.

This critical infrastructure upgrade will continue through spring 2022.
KC Water and our contractors, Leath & Sons Inc. and Black & Veatch, have substantially completed work on State Line Road and on Ward Parkway and 49th Street south of Brush Creek. Work on the Plaza itself is under way.
To minimize disruption to Plaza businesses, shoppers, and residents, the project is divided into small phases and areas, and crews are working day and night, five days a week.
Work on Phase 2.1 (see the Project Boundaries map) is scheduled for completion mid-summer. Work on Phase 2.2 is scheduled to begin mid-summer for completion in early fall. Work on Phase 2.3 is scheduled to begin early fall for completion in late fall. Work on Phase 2.4 is schedule to begin late fall for completion in spring 2022.
Construction progress is subject to weather delays and unanticipated conditions.
