Construction Impacts
Water Shut-Outs: There will be temporary water service shut-outs that will impact five lots near the project site. The project inspector will hand out written notices to affected residents 48 hours prior to the shut-outs. The inspector will coordinate with the contractor to schedule the shut outs at the least disruptive time to the residents.
Traffic: Traffic impacts will be minimal. This project area is undeveloped and outside of the current traffic area. Driveways will not be blocked during the project. The project team will work with the contractor to make sure construction truck traffic impact is minimized as much as possible.
Residents may notice an increase in truck traffic due to construction material delivery. Allowable work hours will be Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The project will comply with the City’s noise ordinance.
