Status Updates

Week of April 27:

Installing new water valves and replacing undersized water mains in East Downtown.  The project will provide better water flows for fire suppression and looped water lines for better water quality.

Week of May 4:

Water line installation on East Main Street and Idaho Avenue.  The City is installing new water main from East Main Street to East 1St Street on Idaho Avenue.  This city block only had an undersized  four inch water main that spanned only for half the block.  The water line was not looped and homes were on the dead end water line.  All water lines, when possible, should be looped in order to maintain water quality and to provide for sufficient water volume and pressures for fire suppression.  During installation the contractor removed an old wood water main that had been abandoned years ago.  The new water line will increase flows to this area and allow for water movement thus increasing the water quality.

Week of May 11:

Work continues on storm drain installation on Washington and Idaho Avenues.  Sanitary sewer installation is being completed on Idaho Avenue this week. Concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk removal has started.

Updated Status: September 9, 2021

This project has been completed.
