Day 15;

A good question was raised over the weekend after one resident reported "Cloudy Water". First, cloudy water is often an indication of small air bubbles in the water/system. If you recall, a water shut down took place last week and the system was drained to relieve pressure on the pipes/system. When the system was refilled, inevitably, there will be air bubbles, even though care is taken to bleed the system of as much of that air as possible.
If you have cloudy water, fill a glass with that water and give it several minutes to sit idle. Those air bubbles should dissipate and the water will return to it's normal clear appearance.
Both Friday and Monday, water main progress continued southbound on Kensington Drive. Late Monday afternoon, the pipe crew was at or near 317 Kenington Drive. Village crew was also working to begin filling the first segment of new water main. We are far from using that new system as there still needs to be purification of the system and two clean tests, but this is a good sign of progress. On Tuesday, a water main crew will continue southbound from that location; they should reach and get past the intersection with Cambridge/Woodland Circle.
Also on Tuesday, the other pipe crew will arrive back in the Village and we anticipate that they will resume working on storm sewer on Fisk Place. There was a delay while waiting for the other utilities (electric, cable and phone) to bury a service line under the new storm line.
Many of you watching the DNR related holds on place for the Upper Bluff and the storm water pond near the MBCC will be interested to know that the Villages' consultant will soon be taking some action within those sites to further our clearing of those delays. These actions have been awaiting approval and will include test digs and taking of core samples.
