Non-essential offices will be closed Thursday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day. Regular hours will resume Friday, July 5.
Balch St will close to through traffic for this project starting Monday, July 22. Local access will be maintained.
This project includes replacing a 12-inch water main and 8-inch water main with a single 24-inch water main from Park Street to Burdick Street. It also will replace fire hydrants in the area and includes lead water service replacement. Once complete, the road will be resurfaced with spot concrete curb and gutter replacement, spot concrete sidewalk and ramp replacement, and pavement marking work will also be done due to water main construction activities.
Balch Street will be closed to traffic but local access will be maintained. There will be local boil water advisories issued as new water main is connected to the system. Affected properties will be notified in advance before any planned disruptions to their water service.
This project will take approximately 12-weeks. The work schedule has been coordinated with nearby work on Westnedge Avenue to reduce the impact to traffic as much as possible.
