Week starting 10126: ° Start connecting homes along the west side of Oxford Street to the existing water main. Week starting 11/2 ° Start connecting homes along Churchill and Lexington to the new water main. Project Schedule: The Contractor will have the new water main operational and the old main abandoned by November 26th, 2009. Due to the lateness in the year, it is likely that some of the restoration will not be completed until June, 2010. Service Connection Work: We have asked that the contractor mark the location of boring pits on private property at least 48 hours in advance of starting work on service installation. If you have questions about your service connection, please contact Dean Findell, Project Coordinator. The Contractor will notify you at least 24 hours in advance of switching your home over to the new watermain. During the time that your service is switched over you will not have water. This should be less than 4 hours. We recommend that the first time you use your water after being reconnected that you run your faucet for one or two minutes to clear the line. Utility Locates: To protect against underground utility damage, the Contractor will be calling in utility locates. This is required for anyone digging a hole, whether it is to plant a tree or replace watermain. Xcel Energy, Comcast and Qwest will locate their underground utilities by spray painting and placing flags in the boulevard. Please do not remove these flags. Access; Contractors are required to keep the roads passable and provide driveway access whenever possible. The construction project will be staged so that residents and emergency vehicles will be able to drive on the streets at all times. If you have special access needs, let us know. Mail Delivery 8~ Garbage Pick up: The construction work should not impact your mail delivery or garbage pick up. Schedules and times should remain unchanged. Private Systems/ Gardens: Over the course of this project the contractor will be digging in various areas. If you have underground sprinklers, electrical far yard lights, perennial gardens, or invisible fences installed within 20 or 25 feet of the edge of the street or in your yard, they need to know where they are. Removal and reinstallation of these items is the responsibility of the property owner. Please mark with paint or flags the location of underground wires or sprinklers immediately. If these items are not marked, the contractor may damage them when they start construction. The City will not pay to repair or replace unmarked systems. Safety: Your assistance in maintaining a safe work area is important. The size, weight, noise and dust created by construction traffic make it difficult for workers to watch onlookers. Heavy equipment operators must concentrate on the job at hand and may not notice children playing near or behind equipment. Please remind children to stay clear of the construction area and equipment both during working and non-working hours. Residents should use caution at all times while driving through the construction zone and be alert for moving equipment, holes, trenches and other hazards in the work zone.
