On behalf of the largest payer of local taxes in the City of Fort Wayne, Lutheran Health Network applauds the mayor and everyone with city utilities for their leadership with this project.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The work to connect customers in Phase 3 will begin soon. By the second week of March, it&#8217;s expected that residents in Phase 3A, located south of Aboite Center Road in the neighborhoods of Plantations of Aboite, Aboite Lake Estates, Haverhill, North Shores, and The Shores will be connected to City water. <\/p>\n<p>The remaining customers will be connected through the summer and fall.  Construction of connecting pipes is currently underway on Bass Road, Branstrator Road, Feighner Road, and Smith Road. <\/p>\n<p>In all, more than 13,000 customers will have City water by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Also joining Mayor Henry at today&#8217;s celebration, making a toast with &#8220;City Water,&#8221; were James Reecer of Reecer Property Management; Pone Vongphachanh with the Upstate Alliance of REALTORS; Liz Fredrick, from the Hamlets Neighborhood Association; and Beulah Metczak, a neighborhood member and Michael Numbers, business member of the Aqua Transition Advisory Group. <\/p>\n<p>In December 2014, the City and Aqua Indiana signed the final documents to complete the City&#8217;s purchase of Aqua&#8217;s water system in southwest Fort Wayne. All customers in the area began receiving the lower bills from City Utilities the day the sale was completed. <\/p>\n<p>Additional Information about the transition to City water can be found at www.cityoffortwayne.org\/aquatransition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='17f6b2f9a249cd6f35d3ad2151f4a53a' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
