New Water Main - South Clark Street from 16th Street to Cullerton Street

By late September 2016, Department of Water Management (DWM) and Benchmark Construction Company crews will begin the work to install 1,769 feet of new 8-inch water main in S. Clark Street, from W. 16th Street to W. Cullerton Street. The old water main dates back to 1904, and needs to be replaced.
 
If you would like to receive regular email updates about the progress of the project, please go to BuildingANewChicago.org to register for the WaterALERT program. Simply enter your name, email address and the project identification number at the top of this letter.
 
By signing up for the WaterALERT emails, you will be notified as the project enters each new construction phase - from mobilization of equipment onto the site, to the installation of new pipes, to the final restoration of the street.
 
When DWM is working in the street, they may close or limit it to traffic for safety reasons, but you will always be able to reach your home or business. Outside of working hours, a travel lane will be left open for local traffic only.
 
DWM will post our work area for "No Parking" as needed during work hours (generally 7am-4pm). Parking outside of those hours will be allowed, but cars will need to be moved by the start of the next workday. DWM will try to preserve as much parking space as possible.
 
DWM knows that construction always involves inconveniences and noise and they will do everything possible to maintain your quality of life throughout these projects, and conducting themselves as good and thoughtful neighbors in the course of our presence on your street.
 
Should you have any questions or concerns, you can either ask the construction foreman during the project, or call any of the following numbers:
 
* 24-Hour City Service and Information Line: 311
 
* 3rd Ward Office: 773-373-9273
 
* DWM Office of Public Affairs: 312-744-6635
 
When DWM switchs over the services from the old main to the new water main, they will interrupt water service. DWM give you 24-hour notice when this is to happen. However, in the event of an emergency shutdown during construction, they may not be able to give you prior warning.
