FLORIAN DRIVE

On or about September 21, the contractor will begin transferring existing water services to the new water main. The contractor anticipates transferring 2 to 3 services per day. It will take approximately 3 days to transfer all services.

This activity consists of turning off your water for approximately 1-2 hours and constructing the necessary piping to make the connection. The contractor will notify you prior to shutting down your service. The contractor will be working diligently to make the connections as quickly as possible. As soon as the work is complete, your water service will be turned back on. The water main on Florian Drive is currently in the testing phase. Once approved, individual water services will be transferred to the new main. More information will be available once the schedule is set.
