2025 Water Main Improvements - Contract A - Project Update 8/7/2026

Sixth Avenue (Prairie to Greenview)

Work on Sixth is now substantially complete.  Pavement striping will occur later this year.

 

Douglas Avenue (Howard to south end)

This week, the contractor paved the final layer of asphalt pavement.  Sod placement, street sign replacement and pavement striping will occur later.  Work on Douglas is now substantially complete. 

 

Prospect Avenue (Lee to Illinois)

Unfortunately, due to issues with scheduling subcontractors, the work to drill a new water main under Mannheim Road is currently delayed until mid-August.  In the meantime, the contractor is working to begin pavement removal and replacement from Lee to Pine.  As part of the water main installation, pipe will be drilled under Mannheim Road and the Wisconsin Central Railroad.  Once the water main is completed, sanitary sewer lining and storm sewer improvements will occur.  Work on Prospect includes a new 8” water main and water services, as well as curb & gutter, sidewalk, and driveway apron replacement as necessary, as well as 6” asphalt pavement replacement.  Work on Prospect is scheduled to be substantially completed by the end of August 2026, weather permitting.
