We have made continued attempts to receive the required approvals to complete the final water main connection at Maple Lane and Sunset Ridge Road. Please understand the Village is doing everything possible to get the project completed in a timely manner. We understand the frustration living within a construction zone with limited or no construction activity on-going.

Since the approvals are taking substantially longer than anticipated, the contractor will being the roadway improvement prior to getting the required approvals to make the connection at Sunset Ridge Road and Maple Lane.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding during these unforeseen delays.

AT&T to Begin Utility Line Replacement and Relocation.

Work Completed Last Week, May 2nd to May 6th  
·         Continued with storm sewer mainline installation
·         Continued with storm sewer service installations to individual homes
·         Grind-in-place asphalt
·         Sanitary sewer service replacements
·         Received required approvals to place new water main into service
·         Started water service replacements

Work Anticipated to be completed Next week, May 9th to May 13th
·         Complete water service replacements
·         AT&T contractor on-site replacing and relocating utility lines

Water service replacements will continue, and hopefully be completed, along Maple Lane next week. Water services will be replaced from the new water main to the existing valve and box located in front of each home. During the water service replacement, water to individual homes will be shut-off for approximately 1 to 2 hours while the transition from the old service to the new service is made. The contractor will notify each resident individually regarding the approximate time and day of the water shut-off prior to turning off the water.

AT&T is anticipated to be on-site next week beginning utility line replacement and relocation. It is anticipated this work will take approximately 2 weeks to complete. During this time, the contractor hired by the Village to construct the public improvements will not be on-site performing work. With the narrow roadways and limited space to work, it would not be advantageous to have both contractors working at the same time.  The Village will monitor the schedule and progress of the AT&T contractor. As soon as they are completed with their improvements, the Village improvements will begin again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition between the AT&T work being completed and the Village project being placed on hold for the time being.
