Snow and weather pushes back construction start by 2 weeks. While equipment mobilization and surveys have already started, shovels break ground this week of Jan 24-28th. Remember to get familiar with and plan for construction disruptions as noted below. Thank you!
Additional construction on Daisy Street this week of Jan. 24th -28th, is the Quincy Basin Irrigation District working on the interceptor well pump for the Bureau of Reclamation. This work is separate from the Sewer/Water Phase III project.
(UPDATE Dec 29th, 2021)
Construction on Sewer and Water Phase III improvements will begin the first week of January. The majority of construction will continue through April. The area of sewer work will start near the north end of Daisy Street and progress south as shown below. Water work will begin in February. Check back on this news page for updates as the project progresses. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE:
Construction crews are are scheduled to work four 10 hour days at this time.
Street asphalt and concrete curb and sidewalk repairs come after main line work and there may be delays due to scheduling. Temporary gravel and asphalt patches will be used through April, including those on Daisy Street, until asphalt plants resume normal operations and final repairs can be made.
When construction is in your area please plan for changes to your garbage pickup, for restriction to street parking, and utility service disruptions. Please put your garbage out as you normally would but the night before your scheduled pickup day, and the contractors will move your garbage bins to were they can be picked up then return them to your property after garbage has been collected. Please don’t park on the street when construction is near you.
With the high wind speeds we have been experiencing, be aware you may experience high levels of construction dust. Work crews water the roads but there is only so much prevention that can be provided at reasonable cost.
Unplanned water shut offs may be necessary, so please be on alert when you see or hear construction in your area. These shut offs should only be temporary, from work hours between 7am and 3pm during the week. Water should be running over nights and through the weekends.
Contact City Hall with any questions, and thank you for your patience as we work through this project this year. The inconvenience is only temporary and provides for decades of utility system health.
