Big Dig Water Main was deep and dirty.

to
Remember When? 
 
As we get into the final months of How the West was One, we thought we'd take a quick look back at where we've been.  It was in mid-June that all of West Nine was torn up and there was still 2,600 feet of pipe to lay. By June 27, we were announcing the completion of the Water Main replacement project.  
 
  Other fait accompli: 
  • Installation of all sidewalks, curbs and driveways on north side of West Nine
  • Completion of ALL electrical & irrigation (save actual install of street lamps) on north side.
  • Install of all decorative fencing, on north side.
  • Application of special aggregate in parking bays for permeable concrete.

 

  
   
Construction Meeting
The next meeting will be on Sept. 5 at 11 am at the DDA Office, 149 W. Nine Mile.
