Plainfield Charter Township - Westgate Water Main Replacement (Alpine Township)

Progress Report: CL Trucking & Excavating has made good progress installing water services over the last week. Water services have been completed on Kittery Drive (except for west of Westshire) and Bowdoin Pines Court. CL is currently working on Bingham Court and then will finish on Kittery Court (west of Westshire).

Upcoming Work: The final water main tie-in at Westshire and Kittery is scheduled for next Tuesday (4/30). Westshire will be closed to thru traffic for the day and a detour will be posted. Local traffic to Kittery will be maintained. CL has concrete crews scheduled to be on site starting next Thursday (5/2). Crews will work with residents as concrete driveways are replaced and provide a timeline for how long they recommend not driving on the new concrete. CL Trucking will work on lawn restoration and get road patches ready for paving over the next few weeks.

Progress Report: CL Trucking & Excavating has completed the water main installation over the last two weeks. They have also worked with the Plainfield Water Department to pressure test and disinfect the new main on Kittery. On Wednesday, a water main shut down was completed near Kittery and Westgate so that CL could connect the new water main to the existing water main. CL is now in the process of installing new water service lines from the new water main and connecting to the existing water service line at the right-of-way.

Upcoming Work: CL Trucking is anticipating it will take about two weeks to install the new water services. Once the water services have been completed, there will be a final water main connection at the intersection of Kittery and Westshire.

Progress Report:  CL Trucking & Excavating has completed the water main installation along Kittery Drive with the exception of the tie-ins at Westgate Drive and Westshire Drive. CL will begin water main installation on Bowdoin Pines Court on Friday.

Upcoming Work:  CL will complete the water main installation on Bowdoin Pines Court next week and then move to Bingham Court after that. CL will begin pressure testing and disinfecting sections of the new water main with the Plainfield Water Department in preparation for water services to be switched over in early April.

Progress Report: On January 22, 2024, the Plainfield Charter Township Board of Trustees awarded the water main construction contract to CL Trucking & Excavating of Ionia, MI. CL Trucking & Excavating recently informed us that they intend to start construction activities on site on Monday, March 11, 2024. CL Trucking & Excavating will construct the water main along the road and new water services up to the public right-of-way line, where they will be connected to the existing water service. Prior to the water main being installed, trees within the public road rights-of-way will be cleared as necessary. Water main installation may impact portions of the road and driveway approaches and will be replaced as part of the project. Topsoil and grass seed will be placed in disturbed areas after water main construction. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to water the new grass seed to promote growth. Water main work is anticipated to be complete by early June.

Upcoming Work: You will begin to see colored flags show up in your lawn marking the location of buried utility lines. Additionally, Prein&Newhof surveyors will be placing construction stakes for water main construction. It is critical that these flags and stakes remain in place, otherwise, it could cause delays in the project completion. The new water main will not be installed at the location the stakes are installed. There is typically an offset of 10-15 feet from the stake to the water main.

Extra Notes: If you have any questions regarding construction please reach out to one of the project contacts in the panel to the left.
