Tuesday 8/17 Day 135

Changes Changes Changes.......but they are relatively minor.

We learned early today that Frank Bros could not make it on Thursday to pave New Castle/Charing Cross due to a double booking.. Mid afternoon, we learned that they had an opening develop for TOMORROW!! So, as of right now, anticipate that those two roads will have their Binder layer of asphalt put down on Wednesday afternoon.

For residents on those two streets, the binder can be driven on relatively quickly. There may be some inconvenience as the trucks and other equipment are getting the work done, but the road will be open for traffic shortly after it is down.

That small lane unpaved on Roxbury will get pavement put down this afternoon.

Ok then, we turn our attention to water main on Farwell. On Monday, the water main crew began down the hill on Farwell from Butternut. They ran into alot of rock initally, taking many hours to get just a couple pipe sections put in. That rock went away a bit further down the hill.

For residents on Farwell, a reminder that as you see the crew approaching your property, you may want to get vehicles out of your driveway before you get cut off. The crews are supposed to be checking at each home, but that may not always happen.

As of mid afternoon today, the crew was approaching the mid 500 block of Farwell and they may breach into the 400 block yet today. We anticipate that by the end of the week, assuming good weather and no other problems, that the water main may be completed on Farwell Drive.

We are still waiting for MG&E to come into the Village to install new Gas Mains in two locations. This includes on McBride north of Butternut and also around the hair pin corner on the 700 block of Farwell Drive. We have a tentative date of Monday August 23rd for the work to begin on McBride. Farwell will be done after McBride.
