(Beaver Dam) Road construction work on Curie Street in Beaver Dam is set to begin Monday, May 8th. City officials say the project will include complete reconstruction of the pavement structure, curb and gutter, driveway aprons, and sidewalks.
They note that as a result of the construction process, which involves disconnecting and tying in new water main and laterals, property owners in the immediate vicinity may experience temporary discoloration of their water. The discoloration consist primarily of harmless silt, air, or calcium carbonate.
Water utility staff will be flushing these areas regularly during the process if these types of conditions are present. Homeowners should also expect periodic short term water service shutoffs to accommodate the new water main construction, with a 24 hour advance notice. Officials add that those who live in the area are encouraged to consider finding alternate parking locations during the project.
Access to the work area will be limited between 7am and 7pm, Monday through Friday, but will be maintained to the greatest extent possible during off hours. Construction is anticipated to be completed by October, weather permitting.
