School Street Area Utilities Improvement Project

The School Street Area Reconstruction project includes water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure improvements and the full-depth reconstruction of roadways and sidewalks along Garfield, Kossuth, School, and Union Streets (including former Garfield Ct). The existing water mains in this area are comprised of 4-inch and 6-inch cast iron (CI) pipe that have insufficient capacity for fire flows and were identified in the 2015 Water System Asset Management Plan as a high priority for replacement. The sewer mains are 8-inch and 10-inch vitrified clay pipe (VCP) in poor condition and the drainage system has been identified as being in poor condition with the potential for flooding. As part of the project, the roads and sidewalks in the neighborhood will be upgraded to comply with current accessibility standards.
