• Concrete curb and gutter is scheduled to begin the week of 8/2, with concrete driveway installation to follow close behind.

Phase 3

• The temporary watermain is being installed and sanitized throughout the phase. Kusske Construction will be contacting you with a knock on the door or a notification on your door to set up temporary water service. Access to your basement is necessary to finalize the water connection.
• Watermain work is scheduled to start the week of 7/26.
