1. Why is this work needed?

The project will replace waterlines in the project area that were installed in the 1930s and have reached the end of their useable life. The project area does not include areas that were previously rehabilitated or replaced.

2. What impacts can be expected during the construction phase of the project?

Construction will not occur on private properties. All property owners will be provided notice in advance of construction near their property. There will be pedestrian, traffic, and noise impacts during construction. The city’s contractor will be required to maintain access to residences and businesses at all times. Sound levels near active construction areas are anticipated to be between 70 and 90 decibels, with some work in high traffic areas occurring during overnight hours. Appropriate communication and signage will direct property owners, residents, and visitors to the Central Park area with regards to any impacts throughout construction.

At the completion of the project, disturbed areas along roadways and sidewalks will be repaved, and lawns will be graded and reseeded.

3. Will my water service be affected by the project?

During the construction phase, existing water meters in the project area will be reconnected to the newly installed waterlines. It is possible that you will be without water for a short duration (typically a few hours) while this transition takes place. Any service interruptions will be communicated with property owners in advance.
