Latest News

The updates will seem similar over the next couple of weeks as the contractors focus on the water main and prepare to move on to the sewer main Walnut Street portion of this project. New Look has started transitioning residents in phase 1B to temporary water, which will continue the weeks of July 4th and July 11th . Notices will be provided to residents effected by temporary water shut offs and properties being placed on temporary water service. Residents will be provided notice of any shutdowns which will affect their property ahead of the work taking place. Access to properties within the project area will continue to be provided. Temporary detours may take you in a different direction, but you will always be able to drive to your home or destination.

Staff are working to repair a small scale water main break near the Boulder Ridge development. Water service will be disconnected shortly, with service being restored hopefully by noon today. The attached map shows the general location of the disrupted water service.

Please remember to run your water anytime water service is disrupted to your property. It is best to run your cold water tap for a few minutes to ensure sediment is clear from your water line. You will also want to avoid washing clothes until your water line is clear of any potential sediment that may occur from the disconnection and reconnection of water service.

New Look Construction continues to replace the Water Mains in Phase 1A, which will continue this week and next week. Properties that will be impacted by Phase 1B will be moved to temporary water over the next two weeks as well. For people in Phase 1A and 1B areas, temporary services interruptions may occur when your property changes to and from temporary water. You will be contacted, though, prior to any of these change-overs occurring.

This week, New Look Construction will continue to replace the watermain within Phase 1A of the project as effected properties in this area are on temporary water. Tree removals within the project area have been mostly completed. The contractor will continue to remove the stumps prior to the areas being temporarily restored. Turf placement will be completed later this year once all work within these areas has been completed.

As the contractor progresses into future phases of the project, additional notices will be provided to residents effected by temporary water shut offs and properties being placed on temporary water service. Residents will be provided notice of any shutdowns which will affect their property ahead of the work taking place.
