Water main work ramping up
Beginning this week, workers on the Lincoln Road water main project are expected to move to 10-hour daily schedule. Crews are scheduled to be on site at 5:00am on Tuesday, July 14 to complete a temporary water connection for Lincoln Station and the mall. This early-morning work is intended to avoid water service impacts during business hours. The connection is expected to take about 1.5 hours and will require a temporary water shutdown for Lincoln Station/mall only. No other residents or businesses are expected to be affected.
Crews are also scheduled to work on the next two Saturdays (July 18 and July 25) from approximately7:00am to 3:00pm. Motorists should expect possible delays on Lincoln Road at those times.
