June 23, 2025 Update

Project status
Phase 1 (Potomac to Division) – The final connection of the new water main through Phase 1 has been completed.

Phase 2 (Division to Thomas) – Service connections are on-going.

Phase 3 (Thomas to Cortez) – Service connections started last week and are anticipated to be completed this week.

No parking signs
“NO PARKING” signs will be posted through the following areas:

  • On Hoyne, from Thomas to Cortez, 6/17/25 through 6/30/25. 

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 Division to Cortez during working hours.  The Water Department is 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
No water shutdowns are scheduled for this week.

* 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.


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. The Water Department will notify for all of these in advance and share the limits of those being affected.
