PROJECT PHOTO

Below is a photo showing what a completed sewer service lateral looks like. The lateral connects to the sewer main line and extends to the edge of the right-of-way. This is where your plumber will connect your plumbing once the project is complete. The green PVC will be cut and capped to surface grade, and the marker will remain in place behind it for easy locating. Restoration will occur for items including sod, irrigation, bark mulch, rock mulch, cinders, and timbers/railroad ties.

TRAFFIC CONTROL

Traffic control signs have been staged and are ongoing on King Hezekiah and King Jehu. The map below shows the closure area (solid red line) and detour (blue dashed line). Local access will be provided on King Jehu Way, Hezekiah Way, and King Solomon Court for homeowners living on those streets. Please proceed with caution when driving in the construction zone.

Road Closed to Thru Traffic / Local Access Only

Local traffic (meaning homeowners who live adjacent to the construction zone) can drive past this sign to access their driveways/homes. Please use extreme caution when driving in the construction zone. Make eye contact with the equipment operators so that you know it is safe to pass. We appreciate your ongoing patience.
