Virginia Drive Water Improvements
Replacing aging water pipes for dependable service.
Anticipated Construction: Spring 2027 – Summer 2028
Project schedule is subject to change.
Project Overview
OUC is coordinating with the City of Orlando to upgrade and relocate utilities ahead of the City’s planned roadway improvements along Virginia Drive and Corrine Drive. To avoid conflicts and ensure continued water service, OUC will replace aging cast iron water mains in critical locations and relocate additional segments as required.
The work includes replacing approximately 2,700 linear feet of water main from New York Avenue to just east of North Mills Avenue, along with intersecting streets, water services, and fire hydrant assemblies. Water mains are the larger pipes that carry water through the neighborhood, and water services connect individual properties to those mains.
Why This Project Matters
Portions of the existing water system include aging cast iron water mains installed in the 1950s. These pipes have reached the end of their useful life and will be replaced with corrosion resistant iron pipe to reduce the risk of breaks, service disruptions, and emergency repairs.
Through projects like this, OUC is reinvesting in the community, strengthening the systems that help Central Florida thrive today while shaping a more resilient, more connected region for generations to come.
What to Expect During Construction
- Temporarily, some travel lanes may close, parking may change and you may need to take a different route.
- Nearby residents and businesses may experience periodic construction noise and dust.
- OUC plans to keep access to homes and businesses open when possible and give notice before major work or changes that impact water service.
