It's official.

Calhoun's 29-mile $5.2 million water extension project is being bid.

There will be a pre-bid meeting at Arnoldsburg on June 11th and the bids will be opened at Arnoldsburg on July 2nd at 1:30, according to Tim Meeks with the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council.

The bid will be approved by the Mt. Zion Public Service District board.

Following a delay in 2008, the Mt. Zion Public Service District has received authorization from USDA-Rural Development to advertise for construction bids.

Meeks said if all goes well, the construction contracts could be awarded in September and construction could begin in October, 2009.

The water line extension covers an area from Russett to Millstone and Rt. 16 south to the Upper West Fork Park.

The project will also include the installation of fire hydrants to service those areas.
