• To maintain a dry working environment for underground utility work, the contractor has installed a dewatering system on W 42^nd St to lower the groundwater. These pumps and generator will need to run continuously for an anticipated 4 weeks to facilitate the utility installation.
• Crews have installed the temporary above ground watermain on W 42^nd St, which will undergo testing before crews begin hooking homes up to temporary service.

Phase 5 – Morningside Road and Grimes Avenue south of Morningside Rd

Many factors will contribute this, including Xcel Energy progress, weather, favorable conditions for utility work on West 42nd Street, etc. Stay tuned for future Phase 5 updates on BTE.
