Important Notice Regarding Water Main Replacement in MUD District No. 70

Dear Homeowner/Resident,

The MUD District No. 70 has contracted with SKE Construction, LLC to replace water mains in the Paddock neighborhood as part of the district water main replacement project. These mains installed in the 1970s have a history of breaks and are near the end of their estimated life expectancy.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

The district has elected to replace the water mains using pre-chlorinated pipe bursting. This technique allows less impact to the district customers by minimizing the time individual waterlines are out-of-service. Construction will include:

  • Pipe bursting (inserting a new HDPE pipe inside the existing waterlines)
  • Excavation inside the public right-of-way to access and install the new water main

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Brief disruptions in water service (Affected residents will receive notice in advance of shut off.)
  • Surface restoration (grass, plants, etc., will be replaced when complete)
  • Due to the existing waterline being aged and underground, there is a possibility of unforeseen disruptions. We insure you that if this happens our crew will be on site immediately to get this restored.

SAFETY

Safety is the most important aspect of the project. We ask that you please work with us by acknowledging all signs
and construction zones and driving at a prudent speed.

SCHEDULE

Construction work is anticipated to begin October 8th and continue thru June 30th . Typical work hours will be 8 AM – 6 PM, Monday through Friday. (Note: crews may not be present the entire time, as the project area includes multiple streets)
