Water Shut-offs
Properties within the project limits and on Spaanem Avenue will experience an average of two water outages as the new water main gets connected to the existing system and water services are connected. Water outages may last up to 8 hours but will typically take less than 4 hours to complete. Properties will be notified at least 48 hours in advance of planned water outages.
Traffic Impacts
The areas where new water pipeline is getting installed will be closed to through traffic until the streets are restored. Driveway access to properties will only be limited during times that work is taking place directly in front of a driveway, otherwise typical access will be coordinated throughout the project.
Bus Routes & Pickup Locations
There are no current bus routes within the project area, and bus routes nearby on Turner Avenue and Buckeye Road are not expected to be altered as a result of this work.
Streets
The street pavement will be removed and replaced where necessary to allow for the pipeline installation.
