FAQs About the Water Main Break 💧
Q. When will the road be repaired?
A. Once the water main repair is complete and Water Services has completed filling in the excavation, crews will work to pave the area with asphalt. During the winter months, to ensure the road remains drivable, the excavation site is filled with available seasonal mix.
Crews will return in the spring to pave this roadway when permanent repairs can be completed - exact dates cannot be provided at this time. If lawn repairs are also required, those will be done between May and October. Depending on the location, barricades may be in place to ensure the safety of citizens. Please do not move or remove them.
If the excavation site sinks or you have any other concerns, please call 311 and reference “sunken excavation.”
Q. When will my driveway and/or sidewalk be repaired?
A. Crews will return to the site over the next several weeks to apply a temporary asphalt patch. A final concrete repair will be added to The City’s road repair schedule - exact dates of repair cannot be provided at this time. To ensure the base layer is properly compacted, we schedule the sidewalk for concrete replacement following a full freeze-thaw cycle, typically two years after repair.
If lawn repairs are also required, they are typically performed between May and October.
Depending on the location, barricades may be in place to ensure the safety of citizens. Please do not move or remove them.
If the excavation site sinks or you have any other concerns, please call 311 and reference “sunken excavation.”
Please note: Crews are working diligently to fix it as soon as possible.
