Bluestem Water Main Improvements
Project Scope:
This project is located on Bluestem Drive from McHugh Road to Prairie Rose Lane.
The water main replacement project involves the replacement of aging water mains within the City to improve water distribution efficiency. This project consists of the installation of approximately 715 feet of 16-inch ductile iron water main, curb removal and replacement, sidewalk removal and replacement, new sidewalk, paving improvements, and restoration
The project will involve the installation of new water mains and fire hydrants and abandoning old water mains. Once the new main has been completed and tested, new water services will be tapped and old services will be switched over to the new main at the shut-off valve, (b-box or buffalo box), near the right-of-way. After new services are completed, the roadway will be patched and landscaped areas restored with seed and fertilizer. The seeded areas will be protected from erosion with an application of hydro-mulch.
Parkway Restoration:
Residents should be advised that lawn care and maintenance of parkway areas will be necessary to successfully provide a healthy stand of grass before the growing season’s end. The hydro-mulch application is designed to only provide temporary protection for the grass seed, and as such it will be advantageous for residents to establish growth as soon as possible.
Lawn care and maintenance that will facilitate healthy grass germination include the following:
- Watering seeded areas within a maximum of two days from the last appreciable rainfall.
- Mowing of established stands of grass prior to reaching a height of four to five inches
- Pulling of weeds competing for nutrients
During construction, there may be temporary disruptions to water service, traffic, parking and access to properties.
