Residents in the vicinity will experience noise and dust normally associated with construction.

Non-resident traffic will be detoured around the construction zone while local access for residents will be maintained.

Water interruptions

• Generally, water service will be maintained with a few exceptions: (1) planned 6-8 hour interruptions when new mains are tied into existing ones which will be proceeded by notification by orange door hangers 24-hours prior, (2) brief 30 minute interruptions when services lines are transferred to the new main which will be preceded by 12-24 hour notice in person.
• Contractor will do their best to not interrupt business operations, however this will be a case-by-case business. Impacted businesses will be contacted by the project team on this issue.
