Construction on a $1.4 million project to install two water lines under U.S. Highway 60 at Goldfield Road and Idaho Road in Apache Junction is to start in February or March.
The Apache Junction Water District board, comprised of Apache Junction City Council members, on Dec. 16 discussed the project and an $88,800 engineering agreement with Colliers Engineering & Design Inc. for engineering services for the water main extensions.
A 12-inch water line was installed from the U-Haul development just up to the U.S. Highway 60 Superstition Freeway, Water District Director Mike Loggins said.
