Below is a summary of the remaining schedule for the project now that the lining work is complete. The schedule is weather dependent and will be updated if changes are made in the future.
Week of September 9:
- Water main along West River Drive near Lamoreaux Drive will be disinfected. If you see a lot of water on the road this is part of the flushing process and should not cause alarm.
- New water main will be installed in lining access pits to connect newly lined pipes to each other along West River Drive and 4 Mile Road.
- A temporary driveway closure will be required next to Mad Dogz on Wednesday while the work in this pit is completed.
- A new hydrant will be placed at the intersection of West River Drive and Mill Creek Avenue on Saturday which will hinder traffic flow through this intersection.
Week of September 16:
- Water main along West River Drive south of Leland Drive and along 4 Mile Road will be disinfected. There will be a lot of water flushed out of the hydrants while this work is taking place.
- A pole along 4 Mile Road, near West River Drive, needs to be removed to complete the repair of the water main liner that was found to be defective. A truck will hold the wires while the work on the water main is completed and a new pole will be installed after the work is completed.
Week of September 23:
- Final tie-ins will be completed. This step will connect the newly lined water main back to the existing water mains on the outer limits of the project.
- The temporary water main will be removed, and residents will no longer receive their water through the temporary water service line connected to the building. Rather, water will run through the newly lined water main and into the house from the copper water service as it did before the project!
Week of September 30:
- Project restoration will be completed this week. Any concrete sidewalks and curbs that were disturbed will be replaced. Any portions of road that were disturbed will have new asphalt placed. Lawns that were disturbed will be seeded. Traffic control will be removed.
