The City of Tallahassee completed a water main replacement project along Balkin Road and Center Drive. The project included construction of a new 8-inch water main, water services and meters to replace the existing system currently serving the area, as well as replacement of existing fire hydrants and the addition of a few new ones to increase fire protection coverage. The new water facilities are intended to result in reduced utility maintenance activities, improved system capacity and reliability, and increased fire protection.
