Phenix City, Alabama, November 7, 2024 – The City of Phenix City understands the public’s frustration with the delay in the repair of certain municipal water leaks located throughout our City and has made the repair of these leaks a priority. While the Utilities Department, through its dedicated employees in its Water Distribution Division, among others, have made great strides in the repair of existing leaks by reducing the number of leaks by more than fifty-percent (50%) over the past year, there is much more work to be done. Therefore, the City of Phenix City is pleased to announce that it has awarded a contract to Warr Grading Contractor, Inc. for the repair of approximately 140 leaks that have been located and identified within Phenix City. Please be patient as the City and its partner, Warr Grading, work diligently to address these leaks as quickly as possible. Thank you.
