CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Last week, the contractor worked on removals in Stage 3, completed a water valve replacement on 2nd Avenue NE, and placed Class 5 aggregate on Stages 1 and 2. This week, the contractor will be working on the following:
Removals on Main Street between Central Avenue and 1st Avenue E.
Sanitary sewer replacement in Stage 3 to 1st Avenue E.
Curb and Gutter placement in Stages 1 & 2.
Sidewalk placement in Stages 1 & 2
Areas of town will be without water from 8 am to 3 pm while the construction crew replaces a water main valve on the project. Impacted areas will include 1st Ave NE from Central Ave E to 2nd St NE. It is not anticipated that the shutdown will extend beyond the areas shown in the attached map – streets highlighted in red are the impacted areas for the water shutdown. While we do not anticipate the shutdown extending beyond the areas shown, it is possible that further areas may be impacted in the event that existing water valves do not perform adequately and isolate the work area.
NOTICE: Should the necessary water valves not hold for this temporary shutdown as expected, further isolation attempts would be required and may result in water loss for a much larger area. Due to the layout of the valves within town, it is possible that all areas from 3rd Street North down to the railroad tracks may be without water during this timeframe.
