The city’s contractor has completed water and sewer mains to the end of the pavement removals near Rosen’s; and are currently working to get service lines installed. Storm sewer was started last week, and they have now completed all the storm sewer in the Fairlakes Avenue intersection.

#1 Currently the contractor is installing shorter services on the south side of the street, however next week (Tuesday) the long services will start that go all the way across the street. While these services are being installed depending on where your business/residence is located your access will be only from one direction, either west or east. The city’s contractor will be in contact with you and informing you of access changes. All residences and businesses from Rosen’s to the west your access will be from the west during service installation to the east.

#2 The city’s contractor will be closing the Fairlakes intersection except for local access to Fairlakes Avenue on Monday to excavate and install aggregate base. They are hoping to bring a concrete crew later in the week to start pavement.

#3 While services are being installed a second crew will continue with storm sewer installation from Fairlakes Avenue heading west.

#4 We don’t have a firm date or time yet, but we are tentatively planning a water shut down on Saturday the 30th to disconnect the remaining old watermain to the west, prior to that happening a temporary watermain will be setup for everyone from Rosen’s west.

We’re anticipating progress to speed up with a second crew now on site, and more activity so please expect delays as crews are moving equipment and material while you are around the work site. We thank you for your patience during this time! Please sign up for updates to stay informed on changing access locations.

The city’s contractor has almost completed water and sewer mains to the end of the pavement removals near Rosen’s; they will be finishing sewer in this section today and finishing watermain tomorrow and Monday.

On Tuesday, August 5, storm sewer work is expected to start in the Fairlakes intersection, during this time they will try and keep through traffic open as much as possible however for a few days they will be closing the intersection except for access to abutting streets. During this time access to local businesses will be from the west. We will update the website with a closure date for the intersection as we get closer. Please sign up for updates to stay informed on changing access locations.

We appreciate your patience as we work on this project and delays occurred due to excessive rainfall in the last few days.

Watermain in the Fairlakes intersection has now been completed and the city’s contractor is working on installing sanitary sewer main along the south side of the street up to approximately Rosen’s. Once that is complete, they plan to install watermain to the same point.

After the pipe has been installed a temporary gravel surface will be placed so traffic can be routed down the south side of street rather than the north to get pavement removed on the north side.

The city’s contractor has tentatively planned to start removals of the north pavement at the Fairlakes intersection working to the west. They plan to remove pavement as pipes are installed, and temporary gravel is installed on the south side. We would anticipate this taking a week or two. The contractor will likely be using flaggers or temporary signal lights alternating with one-way traffic during portions of this work.

Removal of pavement is tentatively scheduled to begin on Monday July 7th depending on the pipe installation progress and weather.

We appreciate your patience as we work on this project. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
