The Hickory and Spruce Water Main Improvement project includes replacing aging and undersized water main infrastructure along Hickory Avenue, Spruce Avenue, Chouteau Avenue and Sycamore Street in the Betton Hills Neighborhood. As part of this project, the City will also install additional hydrants to improve fire protection. This work is being done in advance of and in coordination with the City’s roadway resurfacing program.
