WHAT TO EXPECT DURING PHASE 1 CONSTRUCTION

Nos comprometemos a reducir al mínimo las molestias que las obras puedan causar a los vecinos y a los miembros de la comunidad. Nuestro plan de gestión de las obras incluye medidas para minimizar las molestias derivadas del tráfico, el ruido, el polvo y otros aspectos relacionados con las obras.

Within Phase 1, there are three subprojects:

• Subproject 1: Awbrey Road Waterline Improvements: junio 2023-Octubre 2023
• Subproject 4: Awbrey Reservoir Outlet: noviembre 2023-Diciembre 2023
• Subproject 5: NW Ninth Street Waterline Improvement: noviembre 2023-Marzo 2024

Subprojects 3 and 6 on the map below have been tentatively removed from the construction schedule to re-evaluate project priorities. They may be included in a future construction project. 

Construction will generally occur Lunes to Viernes from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with extended hours and weekends (as needed and on a very limited basis). A detour will occur on Awbrey Road mid to end of julio. Temporary No Parking signs will be installed in advance of the detour along Second Street to provide adequate access. The remainder of the work will involve single-lane closures controlled by flaggers during weekdays between 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. Traffic delays are expected.

Any work that includes crossing driveways will be coordinated with residents one day prior to work commencing and again on the day of work before being impacted. Emergency Medical Services, mail, garbage, and delivery services will have continued access.

If there is a planned shutdown of the water service that will impact your property, you will be notified ahead of time. If there are delays to the schedule, a project representative will be on-site to notify you.

The construction is taking place within the Public Right-Of-Way. Please visit the project website to learn more about public Right-Of-Way
