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.

KC Water and our contractors, Leath & Sons Inc. and Black & Veatch, began work in mid-February along State Line Road and on Ward Parkway and 49th Street south of Brush Creek. Work on the Plaza is tentatively scheduled to begin in mid-May. Work will continue through spring 2022. To minimize disruption and expedite completion, this project is divided into small phases and areas, and crews will work day and night, seven days a week. Construction progress, as always, is subject to weather and unanticipated conditions.
