A seventy-year-old stalwart is getting a much-needed makeover.

The San Diego County Water Authority is working to upgrade the historic First Aqueduct to deliver safe and reliable water supplies for the region.  

    As part of the Southern First Aqueduct Facilities Improvement project, there will be traffic diversions and possible delays on Hardin Street between East Washington Ave. to the north and Escondido Creek Channel to the south in Escondido.

    “The Water Authority is working closely with its member agencies to minimize impacts to residents and business and ensure there is not interruption to water delivery,” the agency said in a statement.

    The First Aqueduct has been in service for more than seventy years, and serves 11 water agencies countrywide.

    Improvements to the First Aqueduct are expected run through next summer with upgrades to 99 structures connected to two massive water pipelines. Construction activities will include excavation, saw cutting, welding, concrete placement, backfill and paving.

    More information about the project, including an interactive map, can be found here.
