All four projects will take place in the Bow Mar South neighborhood near Tule Lake and include the replacement of approximately 4,500 feet of 8″ and 12″ cast iron pipe.

District staff, its consultant, and its construction contractor will work closely with the residents and regulatory agencies to minimize disruptions to traffic and the environment. Water service may be interrupted when the new water mains are connected to the existing mains, however, this will be limited to a few hours at a time. Residents will be notified at least 24 hours in advance before service is interrupted. Emergency shutoffs may occur due to unforeseen circumstances.

The district intends to continue keeping the community informed about the above projects to help minimize disruptions and ensure everyone is prepared for any temporary inconveniences during construction. Project updates will be provided on the district website, Facebook, and NextDoor as the construction schedule is finalized. Prior to construction, door hangers will be distributed to all affected residents.
