3-2-17 West Union Sewer Project Update
Over the last couple of weeks the contractor has been installing brick inverts inside each new sewer manhole along the project.
This week the Contractor is starting to clear out the storage yard on Brook Street and will be mobilizing the yard to a different location.
Contractor has provided an updated schedule for upcoming work.
- Week of 3-6-17: New water main installation in Leland Avenue
- Week of 3-13-17: Connect new Leland Avenue water main to Alden and Main Street. Alden may be closed at Leland end, we do not anticipate closing a lane in Main Street for the water main connection.

- Week of 3-29-17: Complete sewer replacement in Easement from Clyde to Christy
- Mid-April: Replace concrete riser sections on sewer manhole in Main Street at the intersection of Clyde Road. This will require 1 lane of traffic to be closed for approximately 4 hours
- Mid-April: Inspect all new sewer mains using a remote control camera system, which will require a box truck in the road at one manhole and a Vac truck at the other manhole, in some areas this may require alternating 1-lane traffic pattern, or might require the road to be closed for approximately 30 minutes
- Late April: Lawn area restoration
- Late April: Complete permanent trench paving
- May-June: Final paving

In the meantime, any questions please do not hesitate to email or contact me or the Ashland DPW
Finish Road Restoration: Permanent paving work will be completed during the spring/summer season. This will allow settlement in the trenches, if any, to occur before finish paving.
As the winter season is here, the Contractor will avoid working when it snows and will make every effort to patch the trenches before a snow storm.
