Subject: RE: Small Diameter Water Main Replacement Project-Important Update on Upcoming DC Water Construction Activities In Your Area
Greetings Members of ANC’s 5E and 1B, Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park Civic Associations, and Other Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park Residents:
On behalf of DC Water, I want to provide you some important information on an upcoming DC Water construction project in your area, our Small Diameter Water Main Replacement Project.
As you will see on the attached project information sheet, this project will occur on 2nd Street, NW, from Florida Avenue to Thomas Street, and also includes the 100 blocks of Seaton Place and S Street. This project is part of our Capital Improvement Program to improve and enhance the District’s water and sewer systems infrastructure, and projects of this type are performed on an ongoing basis throughout the city each year. Benefits of the project include improved water quality and water distribution system reliability, increased water pressure in some areas, and adequate flows throughout the system. This particular project will primarily include the following activities-
· Installation of 1500 linear feet of 12-inch water mains
· Installation of 2000 linear feet of 8-inch water mains
· Installation of 300 linear feet of 6-inch water mains
· Replacement of service lines (lead and/or other) in public space, as needed
· Replacement of fire hydrants and valves
You will also note that construction on the project is scheduled to start this month and be completed in January. Specifically, the work will begin on or around September 20, pending issuance of the required permit by DDOT. While we will work diligently to complete the entire project as quickly as possible, the portion of work north of Rhode Island Avenue must be completed by or before November 15, so as not to interfere with construction activities under the First Street Tunnel Project. Although the Small Diameter Water Main Replacement Project is not part of our First Street Tunnel Project, we are coordinating the activities of both projects so as to minimize impacts to the community to the extent possible.
In addition to the attached project information sheet, we will also be hand delivering copies door-to-door throughout the community beginning today to ensure that all affected residents are made aware of the work. We ask that you please review the information and let us know of any questions, comments or concerns. Further, if you would like a presentation on the Small Diameter Project during an upcoming meeting, please let us know and we would be happy to accommodate.
Thanks much, and have a wonderful day.
