May 19, 2025, Update
Project status
Phase 1 (Potomac to Division) mainline pipe has been disinfected, and service connections may begin this week.
Phase 2 (Division to Thomas) mainline pipe will be completed this week with installation of new drainage structures to follow.
Phase 3 (Thomas to Cortez) is anticipated to begin the week of June 17th.
No parking signs
“NO PARKING” signs are currently posted through the following areas:
On Hoyne, from Potomac to Division, from 4/23/25 through 5/23/25.
On Hoyne, from Division to Thomas, from 5/8/25 to 6/30/25.
Anticipate parking restrictions between Thomas and Cortez to begin the week of May 26th.
Parking will be allowed outside of working hours (7am to 4pm) and over the weekend.
Lane closure and traffic control
Lane closers should be expected along Hoyne, from Potomac to Thomas during working hours. The Water Department are expecting to have 1 emergency north bound lane open during construction hours. All cross streets and alleys will remain open unless prohibited by underground work.
Water shutdowns
The next scheduled shutdown will be the week of May 26th, between Division and Thomas.
* Please remember there is always a potential for emergency shutdowns during any of the construction phases given the old infrastructure that is in the ground.
Water main testing
The Phase 1 mainline pipe was tested and approved between Potomac and Division.
Water service transfers/LSLR
Water service transfers between Potomac and Division are scheduled to begin later this week. Residents will be notified and installation will be scheduled if a lead service needs to be replaced from the new water main to the house.
Final connection and concrete cap
Once all buildings have been transferred to the new water main there are a few more connections that need to take place to completely abandon the old water main from the existing water network. These shutdowns do not involve water interruptions for those that are already on the new water main but might impact buildings outside the project limits although still within the Ward’s limits. We will notify for all of these in advance and share the limits of those being affected.
