Underground Work Update

Ulland has completed watermain installation on Cleveland Avenue from 8^th Street to 6^th Street, and on 6^th Street.  The bacteria tests on the watermain will be taken at the beginning of next week, and once they pass, households will be switched from temporary water to the new watermain after service installation.  Sanitary service and water service installation will begin next week where watermain and sanitary sewer main has been installed.  The new sanitary sewer services and water services will be installed from the new mains to the ROW line for each home.  The City will televise the sewer services at that time, and if you have private work that needs to be complete, you will get a letter from Bolton & Menk with more information.  Ulland also plans to begin storm sewer installation at the end of next week on Cleveland Avenue and 6^th Street.

Ulland’s subcontractor (Lester’s Water Works) will be working on 8^th Street next Tuesday and Wednesday to bore the new watermain down 8^th Street.  This requires minor disturbance to the road, but there will be construction traffic on 8^th Street these two days.  Please drive with care while using 8^th Street next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Michels Utility Services has finished boring in gas services and will move out of town today.  They will have a restoration crew in town within the coming weeks to fix any disturbances to your property that they caused during their work that will not be restored with the remaining phases of Ulland’s work.

Underground Work Update

The underground crew made as much progress as weather would allow this week.  The rain made the soil too wet to work most days.  Ulland plans to resume work on Monday if the site is drying out.  They will have one to two more days working toward 8^th Street on the sanitary sewer installation, then watermain work will begin.  Ulland plans to install watermain from 8^th Street back to 6^th Street along Cleveland, then work on 6^th Street.  Service construction will follow after watermain testing is complete.

As a reminder, Ulland has decided to change when the City televises your sewer services. They now plan to do that during service installation starting in a couple weeks. If you have private work that needs to be complete you will get a letter from Bolton & Menk with more information.

The rain this weekend may impact access to your homes in the disturbed areas, so as always, verify the conditions and make sure the road is passable before attempting to drive down it.

Gas Relocations Continue – Service Work Starting

Michels has both their mainline crew and service crew working onsite. The crews have had to do some removals to complete their work. They will backfill and clean up as they go, and the final restoration will be completed by Ulland as the project works east. Michaels or CenterPoint will coordinate directly with you if there are any gas service interruptions. Typically, there is just one when they hook up your new service and they will relight your pilot lights at that time.
