2025 Water Main Improvements - Contract A - Project Update 8/22/2026

Sixth Avenue (Prairie to Greenview)

Work on Sixth is now substantially complete.  Punch list items and pavement striping will occur later this year.

 

Douglas Avenue (Howard to south end)

Work on Douglas is now substantially complete.  Punch list items, sod placement, street sign replacement and pavement striping will occur later this year. 

 

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 late August.  This week, the contractor removed the existing pavement between Lee and Pine.  They also worked on completing the new water main at the intersection of Prospect and Illinois.  Sewer lining began this week as well.  Next week, they will continue with the sewer lining.  The contractor also plans to pave the first layer of asphalt pavement between Lee and Pine, currently scheduled for Thursday, August 27.  They will also begin transferring water services from the existing water main to the new water main between Circle and Illinois.  Work on Prospect is scheduled to be substantially completed by the end of September 2026, weather permitting.
