Progress Update


Hello once again everyone,

There has been a fair amount of progress since my last update.  The biggest news is that crews have now completed construction in Section 10.  They still have a small amount of miscellaneous cleanup there, but all water main, water services, and nearly all restoration is done.  They also wrapped up the last of their work in Section 5 on north 8th Avenue. 

You probably have noticed the crews working on the south side of Town, on either side of State Route 10 in the last week.  The reason they are over there is that where ever the main crosses the State Route they have to install a steel casing around the water main, so they will be getting all of those installed now, while their subcontractor is available.  They should be done with all of them by the middle of next week. 

Their next goal is to wrap up some work that was recently added in Section 9.  They have extensions on Hickory NW, Dogwood NW, and just north of W Division as well.  Once these short runs are each complete they will head back to Section 8, where the crews left off over last winter. 

From there they will most likely wrap up Section 3 then work their way to Section 7.  I have updated the Project Map for your reference below.

 



For those residents who have signed up and are in areas now complete, be sure to check your mail for information from the Town on when water will be available and when you should schedule the work for making your connection.  Those who haven’t yet received a letter feel free to contact a few contractors and get an idea of what to expect, but please do be aware that some of the contractors are seeing high demands and are quite busy. 

I have heard there are some of you who have already made arrangements with a contractor but are finding they are having trouble fitting you into their schedule before the deadline stated in your letter.  If this situation describes you please contact the Town Hall and make them aware of your predicament and they should be able to help you.

As always, thank you all very much for the continued patience and understanding as construction progresses.  And please keep checking back here for more updates.
