Welcome to the City of Linn Valley, Kansas!

Water line Construction Meeting

9/23/2025

The monthly Water Project Progress Construction Meeting is scheduled by BG Consultants (engineers) for updates and questions between the contractors, engineers and the two cities involved.  They set the agenda, and they handle the minutes.

Reminders:

Please do not move, remove or mow over the marker flags and/or stakes. Those flags/stakes are marking the main line, future water lines, and future fire hydrants.  They are also marking fiber optics, underground electrical, and when they get to the sewer district, they will be marking sewer lines.

Updates:

Filling the Water Tower has been put on hold until the booster pump is delivered and installed. This project is funded under BABA (Buy American, Build America) we were informed from the beginning of the project that there will be times that equipment may be delayed in production and/or shipping. This is one of those situations.

           

They completed the line up Holiday Drive and started running lines down the side streets off Holiday Drive.

At the top of the hill, by the campgrounds, they started installing the main line down Holiday Lane.  They will travel down Holiday Lane, up Linn Valley Boulevard, and turn down South Linn Valley Drive.  As they travel down the main road, they will be running down the side streets.

As they are installing lines, roads might become blocked, plan ahead, always have an alternate route to get to your residence. If your residence is on a dead-end road the contractors will always make sure there is a way around so you can get home.

BG Consultants will be providing a progress map in the next few days showing where they are and which way they are headed.  When we receive this map, it will be on the website and updated weekly.  A larger map will be posted at City Hall for viewing.

Meter installation should start by early November. The City and BG Consultants are still working on a final map for the lots that will receive water meters with grant money. When this list is completed, it will also be posted on the website and a larger map posted at City Hall.
