The projects to install water mains have been ongoing in Warsaw on Chestnut and High streets since September.
Chris Harrison, Indiana American Water operations manager, said in a letter to the council the projects are moving along smoothly and are nearing completion.
Nearly all of the new water mains have been installed, pressure tested and bacterial tested to meet IDEM regulations.
Upcoming construction activities will mainly consist of service connections, sidewalk restoration, asphalt repair and yard and grass restoration.
The contractor also will seed the areas and mulch as required to hold the seed down.
Also during the meeting, Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins said the council will discuss cuts to the 2008 budget at its Dec. 15 meeting.

The council also:
n Approved transferring $500 from the Warsaw Police Department police salaries into police Federal Insurance Contributions Act funds. The purpose is to replenish funds that will be used to pay the city's share of social security and medicare for police officers out of the 2008 budget.
