Progress Report:
The contractor completed the bore and jack operation to install casing pipe under Rush Creek on Wednesday and is continuing to excavate the receiving pit to install the water main pipe. The hard closure of 48th Ave. is still in place due to the extent of operations near Rush Creek.
The contractor is preparing the tie in point for the sanitary sewer. Afterwards, they will continue installing sanitary sewer southwardly to connect to the tie in.
Upcoming Work:
After the receiving pit is excavated, the contractor will work to install the water main inside the casing pipe underneath Rush Creek. The water main will be installed early next week. The contractor plans to have the sanitary sewer finished by the middle of next week. After that, the contractor will continue with water main construction between Rush Creek and Port Sheldon.
Note:
We ask the public to respect the workers and the closed road. Police will continue to be present to safe working conditions and to ensure the road is only being used sparingly by those who live or work on this road and not by though traffic.
