COUNTY News:

The community is invited to take a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to construct a 3.5-mile water transmission pipeline along N.M. 4. Wagner Construction, contractor to the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities (DPU), will hold an informal family day event noon to 6 p.m., Saturday, April 19 at its construction yard.

Equipment enthusiasts and infrastructure fanatics are welcome to stop by and check out all the vehicles and equipment. Feel free to give the tires a kick, climb aboard, or just stand back to admire the durability and design of the modern construction machines.

The construction yard is on the east side of N.M. 4 about 1.25 miles from Rover Boulevard. There is room for parking on the right-of-way at the fence line.

Wagner Construction, Inc., is a Minnesota-based company that was awarded the contract for Los Alamos County’s N.M. 4 Water Transmission Line Replacement/Fiber Conduit Installation Project. The project site extends along N.M. 4 from Rover Boulevard to N.M. 502. With most of the pipeline in place well ahead of the original schedule, Wagner’s crews are looking forward to a moment to connect with the community they’ve been situated in since February.
