The dust has been a concern over the past week. The contractor is committed to watering and sweeping the roadway on a consistent basis to reduce the amount of dust to the greatest extent possible. Unfortunately, the amount of dust will only increase as the underground utility installation continues by excavating through the existing pavement.

As the water main installation begins, there will scheduled water main shut-downs that will affect water service to each home. Affected residents will be notified via a door hanger the day prior to a scheduled water main shut down, please be on the look-out for these notifications.
