In December 2014, City Utilities welcomed about 12,000 new water utility customers in southwest Fort Wayne and in a number of neighborhoods lying south and west of Fort Wayne.  By fall of 2015, all of these customers that had previously received water from Aqua Indiana were receiving water from Fort Wayne City Utilities.   

With the transition from Aqua Indiana to City Utilities services, customers were also switched to the water rates paid by all other City Utilities customers. 

Use the Cost Savings Calculator to find out how much you may be saving as a City Utilities Customer.

City Utilities is hiring a contractor to replace deteriorating water mains on several streets in the Frances Slocum Neighborhood.  Main replacement work will be done on portions of  Glenwood Avenue, Kenwood Avenue, Curdes Avenue, Clara Avenue and Dodge Avenue east of Hobson Road.  Water mains in this area were originally installed as long ago as 1925 and have outlived their useful life.  The majority of the installation will be done using horizontal directional drilling.  Work is expected to begin in June 2018.

This project consists of relocating approximately 3,000 LF of Beckett's Run stream channel through the construction of a new channel with associated plantings, wetlands, and armoring. 

Fort Wayne City Utilities frequently holds special meetings to discuss projects with residents who may be affected. Meetings are held at several stages in each project. Typically, meetings are held when project design is about to begin, when design is complete and just before construction is to begin.
