Water Main Upgrades on De Armanville Road Today

De Armanville, AL · May 28, 2026

Thursday morning is moving at a gentle pace, though the hum of mowers is already starting up across the neighborhood. If you’re heading toward the intersection of Highway 78 and De Armanville Road today, you’ll likely see the orange vests before you see the heavy equipment.

📰 The Lead

Crews are beginning the final phase of the line replacement project near the intersection of Highway 78 and De Armanville Road. This is part of the multi-year effort to stabilize water pressure for the growing number of homes on the north side of the community. Expect flaggers and minor delays between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM today as they move the larger machinery into place.

While the work is noisy, the result means fewer "boil water" notices during the heavy summer storm season. Residents in the immediate area might notice temporary discoloration in their taps; running the cold water for a few minutes usually clears it right up. The project is expected to wrap up by the weekend, provided the afternoon thunderstorms hold off.
