On Monday September 10th, from 10:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m, the Village will be shutting off water to complete two major water main tie ins and numerous valve replacements. Known areas affected are: 2nd Street from Washington Blvd to 4th Avenue; 5th Avenue from Jordan Lake Street to Tupper Lake Street; and 6th Avenue from 2nd Street to Tupper Lake Street. If water flows cannot effectively be controlled, additional valves in the area may have to be closed which will limit water to additional services.
Tupper Lake Street traffic will be detoured on Tuesday evening, September 11, in preparation for a live water main tie in at Tupper Lake Street and 5th Avenue on Wednesday, September 12. Traffic will be detoured until work is completed. Barring unforeseen circumstances, water should remain on during this time frame.

There will be periods where access to your driveway will be limited and you will experience water service interruptions. We will make every effort to communicate those times with you as best we can, but please understand that during construction, there are can be unanticipated occurrences that may unexpectedly impact your water at times.
