HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING:
As a part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project to replace the water mains in your community, the crews are continuing water service interruption activities on Washington Street. These activities are taking place in the areas listed below in blue on the days and during the hours mentioned. Should additional water service interruptions in the Washington Street area be necessary, impacted areas will be notified in advance.
Once water service interruption activities are completed, additional nighttime activities will be conducted including service connections and base paving. The night work on Washington Street is expected to be completed by Friday, March 11, 2016.**
Please note: the contractor will return to the Washington Street area in the near future to perform final improvements including pedestrian curb-ramps, slurry seal and striping.
The fire hydrants installed on Washington Street as a part of this project have been connected and activated and are now "live".

This Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project will replace about four miles of old, deteriorating, cast iron water mains with new Polyvinyl-Chloride (PVC) pipes. PVC pipes offer improved service reliability and a longer service life. Improvements also include new valves, fire hydrants and installation of curb ramps that facilitate access for persons with disabilities. In addition, streets that have been excavated as part of this work will be slurry sealed as phases are completed. Any areas of vegetation or landscaping that are affected will be replaced. Construction of this infrastructure project is expected to last about three years.
