Hello again everyone,
First, my apologies for the extra-long delay since my last update.
As the observant of you will have noticed, construction is continuing through the winter months, slowly but surely. For short periods when the weather is particularly bad (a few days here and there) expect that construction crews will take a break. That being said, they still do plan to continue working whenever possible. More importantly, this means that they still do plan to complete underground pipe installation before the end of this winter.
As you can see in the updated construction map below, there are only two sections where water main instillation is not yet complete.
Those residents in Section 7 (Rolling Meadows) can expect somewhere around three or four weeks before water main instillation is complete (subject to weather delays).
Section 3B is about half way complete. Water main has not yet been installed on 10th St, Dogwood St, and Elm St SW. We are waiting on a NIPSCO gas main to be relocated along 10th St before completing work in this section. NIPSCO has been scheduled to finish their work since the beginning of the new year, but they are experiencing weather related delays with their crews. Our expectation is that by the time water main instillation is finished in Section 7 NIPSCO will complete their work in Section 3B.
In addition to Sections 7 and 3B there are also a few water services that have to be installed in Section 6. This work is expected to be finished by the end of winter too.
As I had previously mentioned the bulk of the restoration work (topsoil, seeding, asphalt patching, and concrete patching) will have to be postponed until weather allows. This will be sometime in the spring.
Just as a reminder, the NORWEJ Board meetings have been changed to the fourth Monday of the month, at 6:00 PM, before the Town Board meeting. They are open to the public, but if you do have a specific topic you would like discussed please contact the Town Hall beforehand to verify it can be added to the meeting agenda.
As always, thank you for your patience and cooperation as construction moves to the final stretch. Check back soon
