In preparation for the future WDOT street improvements of Main Street, Waunakee Utilities, in cooperation with the Village of Waunakee, will begin utility construction improvements along Main Street in the next few weeks. The project will provide upgrades to the existing sanitary sewer and water main utilities along Main Street. The Utility Commission recently awarded the project to Allen Steele Company, Inc., from Lake Delton, Wisconsin. Allen Steele will be working with several local subcontractors during the project.
The project limits will extend from O’Malley Street to Division Street and will include repairing the existing sanitary sewer system, re-lining the existing sanitary sewer main and service laterals, repairing the existing water main, installing some new water main, and replacing some of the existing water service laterals.
Main Street will remain open to vehicle traffic during the construction; however there may be some lane restrictions to accommodate the construction activities. The project may cause temporary service disruptions to existing sewer and water users, but the disruptions are anticipated to be minimal. Those affected will be notified in advance of planned service outages; however services disruptions may still occur in the event of an emergency.
The construction is tentatively scheduled to begin the week of April 1st and it is anticipated to be completed by the middle of July, weather permitting.
The public is invited to attend an informational open house to provide additional information and answer questions regarding these scheduled improvements. The Open House will be on Wednesday, April 3rd from 4pm until 5pm at Waunakee Utilities, 322 Moravian Valley Road, in the Waunakee Industrial Park.
Project updates will be available on the Waunakee Utility or the Village of Waunakee web sites or you can contact Jim Madden, Village Construction Manager at (608) 850-8500 or via email at jmadden@vil.waunakee.wi.us.
