Fire Hydrant Installation to Close a Portion of Walnut Street

Installation of a new fire hydrant will result in the closure of Walnut Street between 6th Street and 7th Street from Monday, August 13th to Wednesday, August 15th.  Work on the project will take place from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm each day until completed.

Detours around the construction site will be available, but because of heavy traffic volume in the area, drivers can expect delays in the project area.  Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.

Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area if necessary.

As always, the schedule for this type of project is subject to change daily dependent on weather, equipment failure, and emergencies.

For more information about the project, contact Water Distribution Supervisor Emilio Lopez at 575-6196.
