Street/water projects underway

Work has begun on the "B" Street water line, a project which will replace the water line on "B" Street from 16th to Lincoln. Once the water line project has been completed, the street itself will be renovated the entire route.
Repairs are being made in the 500 block of East 9th where the street was completely renovated with new concrete poured. Currently, concrete is less expensive than asphalt. Once 9th Street has been finished, renovations to Harvey Street, from Woodlawn to the cemetery will begin. The water meters on Harvey have been set back to allow for widening of the street.
Repairs are also underway on Lincoln Street near the cemetery. While repairing potholes, it was found that the street base was in bad condition and needed repair. The entire street and its base were removed, with the holes being filled with base rock. Once the rock has been compacted, several inches will be removed from the top and asphalt will be added. Lincoln Street is scheduled to be renovated next year after a new water line is installed east of Woodlawn.
