Cascade Recreation Park - Municipal Water Main Connection

Given the unpredictable nature of groundwater movement and the presence of known contamination near Cascade Recreation Park, Park, connection to the municipal water system will provide an added measure of long-term reliability and public health protection.

The project includes approximately 1,020 lineal feet of 6-inch-diameter water main and 2,190 lineal feet of 2-inch-diameter water service line. Work includes connections to the existing plumbing serving the restroom, drinking fountains, and pavilion hose spigot; a connection to the existing plumbing at the maintenance building; irrigation system plumbing; and an additional service line to allow for future improvements in the southeast portion of the park. All existing water-use points currently supplied by on-site wells will be converted to municipal water service.

This project is eligible for funding through the Kent County PFAS agreement. There is sufficient budget in Fund 246 to accommodate this project. 

Construction began November 2, 2026 and is expected to be complete November 13, 2026.
