Curb and gutter removal and replacement should take place sometime next week.<br /><br />On Michael Lane, the contractor is going to prepare the trench for water main installation. This is going to involve grinding the road surface exactly where the water main is going to be placed. This way, the rest of the road pavement will remain in place until the water main is installed. This grinding may take place today. The contractor plans to begin the water main installation early next week.Steve Naber, P.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05687711320161533036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542490972191748828.post-36198597172546288822010-08-13T13:01:00.001-07:002010-08-13T13:01:52.510-07:00The utility services are almost complete on Meadowlark and Terrace.

At this time, the Village has been notified that Chicagoland Construction Labor Unions are going on strike. The conflict is between the Contracting Companies and the Unions, not involving the Village.<br /><br />Work has therefore been temporarily shut down on your street. We are insuring that all construction sites are safe to the general public and will continue to actively monitor each site.<br /><br />If any issues arise, or if you should have any questions, please contact the Village Project Manager or the Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500.<br /><br />As of today, we do not have any information on how long this strike could last. We will inform you when this issue is resolved and work will resume. <br /><br />Thank you again for your patience while this matter is resolved.Steve Naber, P.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05687711320161533036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542490972191748828.post-79920157577607251002010-07-01T08:49:00.001-07:002010-07-01T08:49:22.149-07:00The water main on Terrace passed the pressure test, so the next step will be to chlorinate it and then once that passes, water services can begin.Steve Naber, P.E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05687711320161533036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542490972191748828.post-65038190525974266662010-06-25T06:47:00.001-07:002010-06-25T06:47:36.386-07:00Water main line has been completed on Meadowlark and Terrace.
