Week 24

Week of May 17th:

The Contractor continued with 16-inch water main construction at the Spring Street & Webster Avenue intersection and continued southerly up Spring Street towards Muskegon Avenue.  24-inch storm sewer construction also took place in the Webster Avenue intersection.  The Webster Avenue intersection is the lowest point elevation wise in the area so groundwater, existing utilities, underlying woody debris, and overall work conditions make this area difficult for expedient utility construction.
