area.

just east of the intersection) and Wilson Street. Duininck hauled millings to the
salvage lot north of the City.

from properties on the 600 block of E. Lyon Street. Portions of concrete curb and
gutter have been removed from the southern end of Wilson Circle.

up to the newly installed sanitary sewer. The only remaining work in this area is
a drain line connection from the property to the West to the new storm line.

Upcoming work:

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.

Structure #1 bypass line and splitter structure.
