City of Coopersville - Water System Improvements: Venna Place; Vida Circle; & East Street

Important Information

The City of Coopersville will be replacing undersized water main on Venna Place, Vida Circle, and on East Street between Randall Street and Main Street. Sidewalk and driveway approaches on the west side of East Street will be replaced from Randall St to Main Street.

Venna Place and Vida Circle streets will be reconstructed with new asphalt pavement as part of water main construction. The East Street portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by early August 2024. The Venna Place and Vida Circle portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2024.

Access/Traffic

Emergency Vehicle and access to residents will be maintained.

There will be times where access will be limited to your home during paving and concrete construction – Contractor to coordinate alternate parking location.

The south bound lane on East Street will be closed for most of the construction activity on East Street to accommodate water main construction. Both lanes on East Street will be closed for approximately 1 week towards the end of the project to complete water main connections.

Garbage Pickup

Contractor may request trash receptacles to be placed at the road the night before.

Water Service

The City will be replacing any galvanized steel, lead, or plastic water services found during water main construction. If found, Water Services will be replaced from the new main to the curb stop box at the right of way line. There will be a 2–3-hour window of water shutoff for these connections. A few residents with galvanized services will have services replaced into their home and will be coordinated with Contractor/Plumber
