During the water service replacement, water to individual homes will be shut-off for approximately 2-3 hours while the transition from the old service to the new service is made. The contractor will notify each resident individually regarding the approximate time and day of the water shut-off prior to turning off the water.

A majority of the water system improvements along Longvalley Road will be completed near the middle of the week. The contractor will begin installing the new storm sewer starting at the river and working west.  A majority of the project will be receiving new, and larger, storm sewer piping.
