Updates

– Construction Update for Project #20464

  1. The new water mains have been installed but have not been connected yet.
  2. Mains must go through a series of tests before we can put them in service and connect them to the customers’ properties.
  3. The timing of this connection work is coordinated with the customer in advance.
  4. Street restoration is the final step.

Danella Companies (Hired Contractor) have provided the following estimated schedule*:

  • Testing of new water mains: through November
  • Connection to service lines: end of November – December
  • Final tie-in: early December

* The estimated schedule depends on the results of the tests.

– Updates for Project #20464, October 2023

Updates for Project #20464, October 2023:

  1. There are planned full closures along Chelten Street. The last day with a full closure is Thursday, November 2, 2023.
  2. There will be upcoming water shutoffs. Before any shutoffs or tie-ins to the new main, PWD makes sure to notify the public and provide notices to the affected customers.
  3. To ensure the safety and efficiency of the restoration process, steel plates have been used to cover the work during the night.
  4. The timeline for the full restoration of the streets is dependent on the completion of the water main testing: samples must pass for safety. Once samples have passed the necessary tests, PWD will begin the restoration process.
