As you may or may not have noticed, progress on all three parts of the project are moving right along.
On contract A, the well field and treatment facility, the block work for the building is now complete. As you drive by on 700W take a look to the east and you can get a good idea of what the facility will look like (without a roof that is).
On contract B, the water main, they are nearly finished with the second section (see updated map below). One crew will finish up the connection at the highway (US231/SR10) and Begonia then move to 10th st and Halleck Street. There they will be working southbound along the east side of Halleck Street (there will not be any lane closures on Halleck Street). Another crew will continue working in the alley one block east of Halleck Street from 10th Street to 8th Place. The third crew will be testing water main that has already been installed on Begonia, 10th St, 9th St, 8th Place, and Azalea. They will also be installing services where tests have passed and finally doing restoration work after the services have been installed. You may have noticed a crew from the directional drilling subcontractor working along Halleck Street as well. They will be drilling a few areas where open cut instillation is too difficult. These drilled lengths of pipe will be around 500 feet long and the regular pipe crews will tie onto them sometime down the road.
On contract C, the tower, fabrication is complete. The fabrication crew will be cleaning up today and tomorrow, then they will head out. The next step will be painting. The paint crew will be here as soon as they can, possibly late this week to early next week. They will put up a tent around the tower when they paint to protect both the finish as well as the surrounding area from paint. The hope is to have the painting complete before winter, but that depends on weather.
Hopefully this helps to keep everyone informed. Thanks, as always, for stopping by.
