The Water System Improvements program provides for replacing water mains in areas that are experiencing rusty water problems. It also provides for installing larger distribution mains. The Seal Coat Improvements program is the annual program for removal and replacement of built-up seal coat streets. Complete removal of built-up seal coat allows for repairs to curbs, gutters, and placement of new paving surfaces.
