    Highland Beach residents living on one of the town’s six publicly owned side streets off State Road A1A are welcome to attend a public information forum on the upcoming water main replacement project that will impact their neighborhoods.
    The meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. July 13 at the town’s public library. Residents will have a chance to learn more about the $2.7 million construction project, which could begin as early as October.
    Hosted by the town and the consulting firm on the project, Mathews Consulting, the forum will provide residents with information about the project’s schedule and which streets might be affected when.
    “Our goal is make sure there are as few inconveniences for our residents as possible,” said Public Works Director Ed Soper.
Soper said no complete road closures are anticipated as crews dig up public rights of way to install new water mains.
    The project is estimated to take about seven months to complete, with crews working on one street at a time.
    The project, designed to improve water quality and volume, will include the replacement of water mains installed as long ago as the 1940s and which are nearing the end of their life expectancy.
    Voters approved funding for the project in March 2015.
    For more information, contact the town of Highland Beach at 278-4548.
