The majority of the water main installation is now completed along Happy Hollow Road (Phase I) and Lawson Road. The remaining water main work includes making connections to the existing system once water service replacements are completed.

Next week, the contractor will begin water service replacements along Happy Hollow Road starting at Greenwood Road and working west towards the Phase I limits. 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 not be on-site over the July 4th Holiday. Have a safe and enjoyable Holiday Weekend!!!
