Four Farms water pressure upgrade to 40 psi begins Feb. 3

The City of Greensboro began a water pressure upgrade in the Four Farms area near Horse Pen Creek Road on Feb. 3, 2026, the city announced. The work is listed as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Projects and is intended to improve water pressure for residents in the neighborhood.

City materials identify the project under the name “Four Farms Water Pressure Conversion Project.” The public notice included the explicit advisory that “Customers may experience water pressures of approximately 40 pounds per square inch (psi). Four Farms Water Pressure Conversion Project - Feburary 3, 2026.” The earlier city statement reads in part: “The City of Greensboro announced that on Feb. 3, 2026 it will begin a water pressure upgrade in the Four Farms area near Horse Pen Creek Road (part of the City’s Capital Improvement Projects). The project aims to improve water pressure for residents and was described with expected timing and typical”

The initial announcement provides the why and the where: the conversion is intended to raise or normalize pressures for households in Four Farms and adjacent addresses along Horse Pen Creek Road. The explicit numeric reference gives residents a concrete figure to expect, approximately 40 pounds per square inch (psi), which affects showers, irrigation systems, and appliances that depend on consistent municipal pressure.

Key operational details are not present in the supplied material. The city notice as provided ends with an incomplete sentence referencing “expected timing and typical,” and it does not state the project’s scope, expected duration, whether temporary shutoffs are planned, or which city department or contractor will perform the work. The advisory also does not clarify whether the 40 psi figure is a temporary level during construction, the target pressure after conversion, or a range that will apply across specific addresses.

For residents, the practical implications are straightforward: expect water pressure changes during the conversion work, and monitor faucets and irrigation systems for higher or lower pressure around the project start. Because the announcement lacks a full schedule and operational details, residents who rely on medical equipment, have automatic irrigation systems, or plan outdoor water use should watch for follow-up notices from the City of Greensboro and plan accordingly.

What happens next is that the city should release the full, untruncated project bulletin with maps, a timeline, and any planned service interruptions. Local officials and neighborhood associations typically post updates when capital improvement work affects service; residents in Four Farms and along Horse Pen Creek Road should look for those notices and contact municipal water services for specifics on timing and impacts.
