Water line tie-in:
The water line tie-in on S.E. 35th Pl will be completed in coordination with the City of Mercer Island Public Works. This will provide reliable services for your neighborhood for many years to come. During this work, there will be temporary detours in place. We will update the project website and email the Area 6 list serv once we have more information about the schedule and impacts for the water line tie-in.
Permanent paving planned in 2025:
Final, permanent paving is weather dependent and can only be completed during the permitted paving window that runs from mid-March to mid-October.
