Paving operations on North Nebraska, south of East Hanna, are scheduled to resume on January 20, 2025, weather permitting. This work will involve the ongoing activation of the new water main, connecting it to residences and businesses, and deactivating the old main. Paving will also occur along North Nebraska and adjacent side streets up to the project limits.
As part of the ongoing construction efforts to decommission an existing water main, a Floating Turbidity Barrier (FTB) has been installed in Lake Roberta. This barrier is designed to contain sediment and debris that may be disturbed during the flushing of the existing water main and fire hydrants, preventing these materials from entering nearby waterways. The FTB is an essential environmental control measure that helps maintain water quality throughout the project.
The FTB is specifically related to construction activities near sensitive water areas and is a standard practice to comply with environmental guidelines. Although this phase of construction is temporary, the FTB plays a crucial role in minimizing environmental impacts. The barrier will remain in place for the duration of the construction activities in this area and will be removed once the work is complete. We are committed to maintaining transparency and minimizing disruptions during this process.
