~. Hastin s Rivertown News 2001 STREET AND UTILITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Work is beginning on this year's street and utility construc- tion projects. The City has contracted with Richard Knutson, Inc. for the following projects: .~.. .. 2"' Street-Street reconstruction, including concrete curb I ,and gutter and storm sewer, is proposed for 2"' Street be- 1,'1.1 -, i tween CR #42 and Farm Street. This work will also include replacement of the sanitary sewer main with a much deeper sewer main to redirect sewer flows north of 2"' Street away from the Prairie Street lift station. The new sewer will allow this wastewater to drain by gravity to the treatment plant instead of being pumped to the treatment plant. The pro- posed curb and gutter and storm sewer will solve existing drainage problems on 2"' Street. ~ 4"', 5"', and Sibley Streets - As part of the Guardian An- ~O\~ gels housing development, sanitary sewer and watermains on 4'" and 5'" Streets will be replaced and a looping watermain will be installed on Sibley Street between 4th and 5'" Streets.

Construction Progress Information As is typical with street and utility construction, the City's contractor, Richard Knutson, Inc., has subcontracted the bituminous milling, concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk and driveway work, bituminous paving, and sodding and landscape work to several other contractors. These sub- contractors generally do not move their equipment or crews into town until there is enough work to keep them busy for several days. As a result, some construction projects may sit idle for several days while work is being done elsewhere to prepare for a subcontractor. Also, please keep in mind that when the contractor is constructing a road, the final elevation of the finished surface is about a foot higher than the rough graded road cut. What seems. to be a big drop in your driveway or yard will be much more gradual when the project has been completed. Page 1 Summer 2001
