BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The City of Bend is hosting an informational meeting next week for the upcoming June construction start for Phase One of the Awbrey Butte Waterline Improvement Project.

Phase One construction is scheduled to begin in June and will be done in stages through the spring of 2024 to minimize traffic impacts, city officials said Tuesday.
