Other Information | So far the eastern half of the water main has been replaced and four water services and sanitary services have been replaced. The remaining work will be completed in the spring/summer of 2021, pending council approval. This includes:
Until all underground work is complete, the City will not be able to pave the road surface. A temporary gravel surface will be used until all underground utility work is completed.
