What’s all the construction about?
Dear Belmont Terrace neighbors:
Over the next 3-6 weeks, starting on April 10, 2017, TerraCon Constructors will be installing the new pipeline from the well site to the street distribution piping. We expect that there will be 3-4 days of scheduled water shut-downs on weekdays between 9am to 4pm during construction. We recommend storing water for drinking and cooking ahead of each shut down. We will notify you or knock on doors several days ahead when we know the exact schedule of the shut-downs.
The work will begin by digging in the street to replace valves at several junctions:
Norlee & Bella Vista
Norlee & Tocchini
Tocchini & Dorthel
Tocchini & Daniel
Daniel & Bella Vista
There will be temporary covers on these 5 holes for at least 2 weeks, with warning cones and flashing barricades until all replacements have been installed. The replacements will require water shut-downs on at least 2 weekdays (between 9am to 4pm), and we will knock on doors as soon as we know the schedule.
The second phase will be installation of the new piping, including a trench across the street at 7911 Bella Vista Street, opposite the main gate to the well site. There will be temporary covers on the trench but it might be wise to detour round through Tocchini Street. The connection between the new and existing pipes will require a 1-day shut down (between 9am to 4pm), and we will knock on doors as soon as we know the schedule.
According to state regulations, we must warn all customers to boil their drinking water after each shut-down, until bacteriological tests confirm that the water is safe for drinking. Our experience is that our disinfection system is capable of providing safe water immediately, but the State requires a laboratory test that takes 2 days to confirm. We apologize for this inconvenience.
After each shut-down some customers see reddish water, and the best way to eliminate it is to run your garden hoses onto your landscape until clear.
If you have questions, you can call: John Rosenblum, Bruce Petersilge, or Debby Turner
