Water Main Started on Topp Lane

Topp Lane

Work Anticipated to be performed next week, May 14th to May 18th

As construction has started, there is an increase of construction traffic along the roadway. Please use caution as you driving along the site and backing out of your driveway.  It is anticipated that some settlement will occur over the gravel trenches that were previously excavated.  Please be assured everything will be done to keep those areas as smooth as possible, but please drive slowly. 

 There have been some delays in construction due to the recent rain events, but work is progressing as expected.

Thanks again for all your patience during the construction operations.
