The contractor will complete the water service replacements
along Happy Hollow Road and Lawson Road this week. Water services will be
replaced from the new water main to the existing valve and box located in front
of each home. During the water service replacement, water to individual homes
will be shut-off for approximately 2-3 hours while the transition from the old
service to the new service is made. The contractor will notify each resident
individually regarding the approximate time and day of the water shut-off prior
to turning off the water.
The water services on the north side of Happy Hollow Road
(opposite side of street from the new water main) will be directionally drilled
under the existing pavement. The water services on the south side of Happy
Hollow Road (same side of the street as the new water main) will be open cut
due to the close proximity between the water main and water service connection.
The contractor will also be making the final connections
between the existing water main and newly installed water main. Water will be
shut-off for a period of time during these water main connections. The Village
Water Department will notify residents affected by the water shut-down the day
prior to the work being performed.
Once the water service replacements and water main
connections are completed, a project milestone will be met. All underground
utility work along Happy Hollow Road and Lawson Road will be completed!!!
The next phase of construction along Happy Hollow Road is
roadway reconstruction. The contractor will begin removing the existing
concrete pavement, removing unstable materials below the existing pavement, and
installing a new aggregate base course for the asphalt pavement. The contractor
will begin at Greenwood Road and work west to the Phase I limits. It is
anticipated to take 1-1/2 weeks to complete the roadway excavation phase.
During this phase, travelling along Happy Hollow Road will be very difficult
and you may be asked to use alternates routes. Access to driveways in the
location of the roadway excavation will be restricted for the day they are
working adjacent to your home. The contractor will provide notice prior
to blocking or restricting access to your driveway. Access will be
provided by the end of each day.
A second phase of construction will also begin next week,
water main replacement along Rebecca Lane. The contractor will begin at
Greenwood Road and work towards Happy Hollow Road. For those residents that
live along Rebecca Lane, this will be the beginning of the major construction
along your street. The water main replacement will be very similar to what you
noticed with your neighbors along Happy Hollow. During the water main
construction, access to your driveway will be provided throughout a majority of
the project; however, there will be instances when the contractor has excavated
a trench adjacent to your driveway to install the new water main when access
will be restricted. The contractor will provide advance notice so you may
move your vehicles prior to access being restricted. You will have access by
the end of each day and should only last a few hours. There will also be
residents with their water shut-off to perform the connection between the
existing water main and new water main. The Village Water Department will
provide notification the day prior to the work occurring.
There is a lot of construction activity along Happy Hollow
Road, Lawson Road, and Rebecca Lane as the contractor continues to meet the
construction schedule and get as much work as possible completed prior to the
start of school. Please you caution as you walk and travel through the
construction zones.
Thanks again as you deal with dusty conditions, travel
delays, driveway restrictions, water shut-down, and all the various inconveniences
experienced living within a construction area. Your patience, understanding,
and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
