Inglewood - Water Main Replacement 9 Avenue SE
The City needs to replace the existing water main on 9 Avenue S.E. between 12 Street and 13 Street S.E. due to its age, and condition. We will also be installing a new section of water main in the intersection of 9 Avenue and 12 Street S.E. as part of this work.
We heard from businesses how important certainty of start dates is for this work, and we want to confirm this work will start the week of September 18, 2023.
As a reminder to businesses with a patio, the permit for patios expires on September 18, 2023, and crews will be on site shortly after that date to start this necessary work.
Schedule
Work is scheduled to commence the week of September 18, 2023.
You may see additional activity in the area the week of September 13, 2023, as crews begin to mobilize and set up pipes for the temporary water service. As a reminder to businesses with a patio, the permit for patios expires on September 18, 2023.
Excavation and pipe installation is anticipated to start on September 22, 2023, beginning in the intersection of 9 Avenue and 12 Street S.E. Construction will then move eastbound along 9 Avenue and take approximately three weeks to complete.
Before construction starts, North Star Contracting Inc. will be contacting business and property owners to connect a temporary water service.
Temporary Water Service
During construction residents and businesses will be provided a temporary water supply. To provide a temporary water supply, access to your property is required. Before construction starts, a contractor representative will request entry to your property.
Please note that internal fire suppression systems will not work if a building is being supplied by temporary water services.
Should it be necessary to disrupt water service, all affected customers will receive notice at least a day in advance and service will be returned within 10-12 hours.
