All property owners in Zones 1, 2/3 and 4 can connect to the new sewer system (see the limits of Zones 1, 2/3 and 4 on this map of the Village Water-Sewer-Reuse Project area (PDF file). (Note: 1, 3 and 4 Harbor Point and 490 West
Matheson properties cannot connect to sewer until easement documentation issues are resolved.)
The certification and conveyance process in Phases 2 and 3 of Zone 2/3 (refer to a map showing the division of Zone 2/3 into Phases
1, 2 and 3 (PDF file)) was completed by DERM and WASD, with official notification given on June 30. This means the construction, certification and conveyance elements of the WSR Project, begun in July 2007, is complete. Property owners in Phase 1 of Zone 2/3 were allowed to connect as of March 2, 2010, and most owners in Zones 1 and 4 were allowed to hook up in 2009 . New ductile iron water pipes are providing water in all zones.
Please note that some driveway restoration efforts are still underway or to be completed in Zone 2/3.
The contractor and project management team have walked through streets
in Zone 1, Zone 2/3 and Zone 4 to identify deficiencies in work done to
repair driveways, sidewalks and curbs, restore swales and pave roadways,
among other parameters. The punch list generated by this walk-through
will guide future work so that conditions in the public right-of-way are
restored to the same or better conditions than existed before WSR
construction began.
The final bi-weekly Tuesday WSR Progress meeting for
Zone 2/3, open to the public, was held on Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Biweekly technical
meetings were discontinued.
