About the Project

IMPROVING CHARLOTTE HARBOR’S WATER DISTRIBUTION

The Charlotte Harbor Water Association (CHWA) Distribution System Improvements Project is a public utility project that will replace over 18 miles of old and undersized water mains, install new fire hydrants, isolation valves and water service connections. This will improve water quality, service reliability and increase fire protection in the communities of Harbour Heights and Port Charlotte that surround the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor. It is the largest project of its type conducted by a non-profit utility organization and one of only three in the nation to receive funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to improve rural infrastructure.

Project Facts: The Distribution System Improvements Project replaces approximately 97,000 linear feet of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch diameter PVC and HDPE water mains. Installation includes over 80 Fire Hydrants, 140 Isolation Valves and 650 service connections

Project Area: The Distribution System Improvements Project will be divided into three separate project areas, or sections. No more than two sections will be under construction at the same time.

Completion: Section 1 is expected to begin in Fall 2020. Completion of all three sections is estimated by the end of 2023.
