Water Main Replacement Project | February 17-21
UPDATE
|
|
Kings Road will be open again next week (2/17-2/21) as the crews finish installing the temporary bypass. To the residents on Kings between Humboldt and Margaret: There may be a short disruption to your water service as the City's contractor, JMB, hooks up the temporary line which they began doing yesterday afternoon; all hookups are scheduled be completed by next Wednesday, the 19th (no work on Monday the 17th for Presidents Day). If you notice some bubbles in your water, this is normal and not a water quality problem. If your water appears discolored, or bubbly, run cold water through a faucet for several minutes until it appears clear. The water coming out of your faucet remains potable and safe to drink. Thank you for your patience as the project progresses!
The main line work is scheduled to start the week of February 24th, where the roadway WILL BE closed in 500' increments at a time. Please abide by all traffic control and No Parking signs. For more information about the project:
