Project Update

Hello again everyone,

Things have been moving right along since my last post and I wanted to keep everyone up to date.  So without further ado

Contract C, Tower: The majority of the electric work has now been completed.  We are waiting on NIPSCO to set up the electric meter for the service, which will hopefully be installed by next Monday at the latest.  After that we should be able to begin flushing lines shortly there after, and eventually sterilizing the elevated storage tank.  There are still some minor site work jobs like parking areas, seeding, and fencing.  Those jobs will be taken care of in the coming weeks as well.

Contract A, Treatment Plant:  There is only about a week's worth of work left at the Treatment Plant.  There are some finishing touches for the pump controls and sterilization of well lines.  Again, once there is power at the Tower the Plant crew can come in and wrap up what they need to in order to begin flushing lines from there to the Tower. 

Contract B and B1, Water Main: The crews had been focusing most of their efforts on the northwest quadrant of Town and have now nearly completed that section.  There is still some restoration work and a few services to install in this section.  An entire crew is now being dedicated to catching up on all the restoration work that was delayed over the winter months.  As the weather warms up expect to see concrete, asphalt and seeding work to take place, over the next month or so.  We would like to express our gratitude to all those homeowners who have been patient as the restoration work progresses.  And those who are starting to lose hope, hang in there!  We haven't forgotten about all the sprinklers and yards that people are getting anxious to care for as spring breaks here.

As you may have already noticed, the area west of Town from W. Division to the rail road tracks is the next area where their efforts are being concentrated.  Additionally the last section 5 is going to be an area of focus over the next couple of weeks.  The north portion of section 4 and the remainder of section 8 will also be tackled in the not too distant future.   

As completed sections are flushed and tested to be sure they are sterile the first users will be asked to start hooking up to the system.  The areas will be made clear and we will be sure to coordinate with the users, contractors, and Town staff to make the process as painless and smooth as can be.  So far things are continuing to go well and as always your continued cooperation is much appreciated. 

Check back soon!
