Inlet protection products have been installed on inlets within the Phase 3 project area.
Asphalt milling has been completed for Phase 3 of the project, including E. Lyon Street from the eastern project limits to Grant Street intersection (milling stopped just east of the intersection) and Wilson Street. Duininck hauled millings to the salvage lot north of the City.

The only remaining work in this area is a drain line connection from the property to the West to the new storm line.
Duininck recompleted the replacement of the 16” plug valve at Control Structure #4.

Upcoming work:

A water shutdown occurred today to cut and cap the existing water main in three locations near the intersection of Eisenhower and E. Lyon Street. Doing so will allow for the Contractor to restore water to residents while other utilities are installed. One temporary service had to be installed to 607 E. Lyon Street to maintain water to the property.
After abandoning the water main in the intersection, the Contractor plans to begin installing water and sanitary sewer on E. Lyon Street, starting at the east project edge and working west. During this time, portions of E. Lyon Street and its intersections within the project area will be inaccessible. Open trenches will be backfilled as work progresses, areas of work will be reopened to access once backfilled and compacted.

Duininck plans to have another crew on-site later this week to work on the Control Structure #1 bypass line and splitter structure.
