West Virginia American Water is investing $500,000 to replace aging water pipes on 17th Street in Dunbar, West Virginia. The project involves replacing 800 feet of pipe with new PVC mains and is expected to finish by the end of May 2026, with final street restoration in summer. This upgrade is part of a larger $134 million statewide infrastructure investment plan for 2026, aimed at improving water service reliability and supporting local economies. Temporary service interruptions and traffic restrictions may occur during construction, but the upgrades will enhance water quality and system dependability for approximately 610,000 customers served by the company in the state.
