Construction activities will continue in the downtown project area with several utility improvements taking place over the coming days.

Planned Work Includes:

• Continuing installation of the sanitary sewer on Main Street between Pioneer Avenue and Maple Avenue.
  • Crews will continue replacing the sanitary sewer and water main on Maple Avenue, with work progressing west through the project area along Main Street to Marsh Avenue. Residents and motorists should expect construction activity, temporary lane closures, and changing traffic patterns.

• Beginning installation of the storm sewer on Main Street, starting near the Public Works facility and progressing east.
• Potential water main installation work on Main Street between Maple Avenue and Delano Avenue, as crews and project conditions allow.
  • What to Expect
    • Residents and businesses in the affected area will receive a door hanger notice with the specific date and estimated water shutdown time before work begins.
    • Water service interruptions are expected for properties near Maple Avenue between Main Street East and Independence Street.
    • Schedules may change due to weather or field conditions.
  • After Water Service is Restored
    • Run cold water from two or more faucets for several minutes, beginning with an outdoor spigot or laundry tub if possible.
    • Temporary air in the water lines or discolored water is normal after water main work and should clear after flushing.
    • If discoloration or other issues persist after flushing, please contact the construction representative. 

Residents and motorists should expect construction equipment, temporary traffic impacts, and changing access conditions in the work zone. Please use caution when traveling through the area and follow all posted signage.
