Day 23; Water off Water On

Many of you in the lower bluff were without water today as new connections were again made. The specific connection/tie-in was at the Oxford/Kensington intersection. That connection went well today and water was restored by late afternoon.

Many of you trying to gain access to the Village via Oxford (near the Village Center) are finding that intersection completely blocked. That will not change any time soon. Access into or out of the the Village will need to be made via Roxbury or Lakewood. If you are trying to get into the Village Center, then you can enter the Village via Oxford.

The completion of the tie in work has now allowed pipe crews to continue with water main installation south past Oxford on Kensington. I think they were only able to get a couple "sticks" (A stick is a 20' section of water main) south of Oxford today, but tomorrow, they should make good progress again. With good progress the next couple days, they could make it to Roxbury by the end of the week!!

Further north on Kensington, the storm system structures in the Kensington/Northern Woodland Circle intersection were put in place today. Additional storm work will be completed in this area so that the road crew can begin the road rebuild process in the 400 block of Kensington. That storm crew will then continue their work with the storm system into the 300 block of Kensington.

All of the homes in the 400 block of Kensington and several homes moving southbound in the 300 block of Kensington are now receiving water from the new water main system. An additonal crew will be in the Village starting on Wednesday to keep making those residential connections.

Each of these crews are completing alot of work each day so progress is pretty swift. Watch for a crew coming to the street near you!!!
