Daily Paving: Lead and Water Main Replacement Sites

About Paving and Restoration: Planned and Urgent Restorations

Crews paving roads

Restorations or paving after emergency repairs and planned construction projects do not always take place immediately after work is completed. Restorations are handled differently depending on the type of work we perform and the weather.

Asphalt crews and concrete crews work independently of each other. This means that it is not uncommon to see street paving and sidewalk replacement happening at different times.

In an effort to be as efficient as possible, we organize our projects by neighborhood so contractors do not need to move their materials and equipment across our service area on a daily basis. This reduces our costs and saves our ratepayers money. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to perform our work as quickly and responsibly as possible. Please see the restoration schedule above for current restoration location

Types of Restoration

Planned Construction

Street restorations for planned construction projects take place soon after the work is completed. These projects typically occur from spring through fall, when asphalt plants are open and concrete can set properly. 

Emergency Repairs

Water main breaks and sewer failures are common examples of emergency repairs. These unplanned events require that we dig into roadways and sidewalks. Sometimes this work occurs during the winter months, when asphalt plants are closed and temperatures are too low for larger areas of concrete and other materials to set properly.  After an emergency repair is made, the street and/or sidewalk will be either temporarily or permanently restored, depending on the time of year. We cannot provide permanent pavement restorations until temperatures are warmer in the spring through fall. 

Final Restoration

Completed in the warmer months, in spring through fall. Due to the high number of restoration sites, in part because of our aggressive lead service line replacement program, it may take several weeks before sites are restored permanently. Please note that the work is weather-dependent and subject to change.
