The City of Asheville Water Resources Department announced on March 10 that it will begin infrastructure improvements in several neighborhoods across the city, with a series of smaller waterline replacement projects planned for 2026. Residents are invited to attend a drop-in meeting on March 17 from 4-6 p.m. at the Public Works building at 161 S. Charlotte St., where staff will be available to answer questions and display project maps.
These upgrades are part of ongoing efforts by the city to maintain and improve essential services for residents. The neighborhoods scheduled for waterline replacements include Lake View Park, Five Points, Montford, East West Asheville, Rhododendron Creek, Pisgah View, Shiloh, East Asheville, and North Asheville. Specific streets affected range from Euclid Parkway and Avon Parkway in Lake View Park to Merrimon Ave at Beaver Creek bridge in North Asheville.
Asheville’s City Hall at 70 Court Plaza serves as the central administrative hub for municipal operations, according to the official website. The city coordinates among departments such as Public Works, Water Resources and Planning to manage services and community engagement, according to the official website.
The city uses its City Plans initiative for long-term community engagement and planning aimed at fostering sustainable growth and equitable development, according to the official website. Asheville delivers municipal services and governance within its city limits under a council-manager government structure with a mayor and six city council members serving four-year staggered terms to oversee policy, according to the official website.
Asheville operates with a council-manager form of government where elected officials set policy while a city manager handles daily operations, according to the official website.
