Traffic Disruptions

Lane closures will be required during the installation of the underground utilities. Block-by-block closures may be required at times to facilitate the installations, but local access will be maintained. Notifications for driveway closures to be provided to affected properties by the Contractor in advance of closing.

Water Shutdowns

If there are unforeseen emergency water shutdowns, every effort will be made to notify you; however, notification may not always be possible.
