The city has entered into a contract with Charles Akers Construction, Inc. for $997,349 to replace the existing six- and eight-inch water mains on Olive Avenue, the six-inch water main on Lewis Street, the existing eight-inch water main on Branch Street and on Cross Street between Olive Avenue and Wallace Blvd. All existing water mains will be replaced with eight-inch mains. Construction is expected to begin in December 2015 with a completion date of May 2016. Traffic will be maintained during construction. Tree lawns, drives and other property disturbed by construction will be restored by the contractor at their cost.
Please note: Residents can expect an interruption of service when the contractor connects the existing water service to the newly installed water main. This should take no more than an hour to complete.
