~~~ Churchill/ Oxford Watermain Maintenance P r o j e c t ~a Y,jp~- Q. D - - v - ~40 0 9 Proiect Update: The contractor has successfully completed the water main construction. On Monday, all properties were connected to the new water main, and the City has abandoned the existing line through the backyards. No more work is scheduled until spring restoration. If you experience low water pressure over the next few months, please call the Engineering Department at 651-792-7003. We will schedule an appointment for our Public Works Maintenance staff to clean your water meter screen. Restoration: Final restoration of disturbed areas will occur in the spring, once the ground has thawed. The contractor is required by contract to complete restoration by June 1, 2010. Restoration includes the following: Any excess mounds of dirt or settled areas will be re-compacted and re-graded in the spring prior to placement of sod. Fencing: If a section of your fence was removed for access purposes, it will be permanently reinstalled in the spring. If you are concerned with the condition of the temporary fencing for the duration of the winter, please contact Dean Findell so that your concerns can be addressed. The shut-off valves, or curb boxes, that were located in your backyards on your old service line, were cut off at ground level when the old service was disconnected, and new curb boxes have been installed in the boulevard behind the curb. These will be lowered to be flush with the ground. The green material that has been sprayed on mounds of dirt and on exposed soils in the boulevards throughout the neighborhood is called hydro-seed, and is a slurry mixture of seed (turf grass), fertilizer, and a green dye. This was applied as an erosion control measure. In the spring, these areas will be re- graded and sodded. Other landscaping: We will work with each property owner to restore any other landscaping features that may have been disturbed during construction. Please contact Dean Findell, Project Coordinator, at dean.findell(~.ci.roseville.mn.us or 651-792-7046, if you have any questions about the work to be done in your yards. We will work with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the restoration on your property. Thank you! We realize the inconvenience construction projects cause to property owners, especially with disruptions to water service, and construction crews working both in your front and back yards. We sincerely appreciate your patience throughout the course of this project. We feel that this was a successful project that will result in fewer inconveniences to you as our customer. The likelihood of water main breaks will be reduced now that the new water main pipe is in place, and City crews will be able to access the water main for future maintenance without disturbing your backyards. Please let us knew if you have any questions or concerns about the project. Questions?
