ODOT Hart St & 281 Project for Oct. 16
First, the City of Alva extends its deepest gratitude to its water customers for their outpouring expressions of grace during our recent projects. Projects of this magnitude have been decades in the making and do not happen without inconvenience and even hardship.
The next project will be to cut and cap the line at Hart St. and US 281. Unlike the Murray Dr. project, there are significantly fewer unknowns based on what crews learned during the Murray Dr. project.
The service interruption for this project will affect a very small area between Davis and US 281 on Hart Street. The adjacent neighborhoods may experience minimal water pressure issues.
The duration of this work should be less than 2 hours.
Of course, we make no guarantees when addressing these decades old issues that are impacting the highway project, but at least this one looks pretty cut and dry.
Work will begin Thursday 10/16/2025 between 4pm and 5pm.
We will provide updates as the project gets underway, if there are any unanticipated issues.
Thank you, as always, for your continued patience and understanding.

ODOT PROJECT UPDATE - Water Service Interruption - 10/15/25 Update #3
Mach Energy has completed the cut and cap on the waterline at the Murray Drive project.
City crews are turning water on, as of 5am, and customers are beginning to get water restored to their properties.
Low water pressure may continue to be an issue until the system is fully charged. If customers continue to experience service interruption after 6-7am, please call 580.748.2685.
We appreciate the men who worked through the night on this project. Once again, the oldest parts of the City’s water distribution system threw some challenges our way.
We hope the inconvenience was not overly burdensome, but we do understand the hardship our residents have faced. We will continue to try to mitigate as many outages as possible, as more repairs of this nature are anticipated.

ODOT PROJECT UPDATE - Water Service Interruption
During excavation for the US 281 Highway Construction project, multiple undocumented water lines have been discovered. These lines are no longer needed in the City of Alva water distribution system and must be cut and capped in order to construct the highway.
This will require multiple service interruptions, the first of which crews have scheduled for 10/14/25 beginning at approximately 8pm.
The impacted area will be at Murray Drive on US 281 including the Myers Addition, Share Drive, Murray Drive, and adjacent neighborhoods. This will cause low to no water pressure during the project which is anticipated to have a duration of 2-4 hours.
Other City of Alva water customers may experience low pressure during this portion of the project.
We will provide updates as the project begins and until service is restored.

UPDATE #3: Emergency Water Line Break at Flynn and Hunt
Emergency repairs were completed at approximately 12:00 am. All water service has been turned back on.
This one was quite the challenge. The crews truly battled to make this repair. The water supply to this section of line was never able to be turned off due to valve failures. All the work was performed on a “hot” 6” pressurized line.
We truly appreciate everyone’s relentless efforts to restore service to our water customers.
If your pressure is not restored by morning, please call 580.748.2685.
