Contractors for the Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) have begun construction on a vital water infrastructure project to provide safe, reliable, regulated drinking water to the Gray’s Creek Elementary and Alderman Road Elementary Schools as well as the surrounding community. Supported by $12 million in state funding, this initiative will extend PWC water mains to the Gray’s Creek area, ensuring water quality that meets and exceeds state and federal standards.

“This project demonstrates our commitment to this community and ensures these schools have access to world-class drinking water,” said CEO/General Manager of PWC Timothy L. Bryant in a press release. “We are not stopping there; this project will have the ability to serve all the residents of Gray’s Creek. We appreciate the support of our delegation to the N.C. General Assembly for helping make this project a reality. I look forward to celebrating this milestone when we cut the ribbon this coming spring.”

Work is expected to continue through May 2026. T.A. Loving will install water mains and related infrastructure. Residents along the construction site will not be annexed into the City of Fayetteville. Roads will remain open during construction; boring equipment to dig underneath side streets will minimize disruption. No lane closures during school drop-off/pickup times.

Residents may notice increased activity along public rights-of-way, but crews will work to minimize disruptions and restore affected areas. Learn more about the project at www.FayPWC.com/Grays-Creek-Water-Project
