  • George St. Construction Progress Report - June 2 to June 13, 2025

    Many have asked or wondered, why does a project such as this take so long…. the answer is
    shown in the photos above. The work does not consist of merely putting pipe in the ground
    but also connecting the existing water and sanitary services to the new sewer and water at the
    lot lines.

    Despite the challenges, QBT have accomplished in advancing to House #10, this week.
    It is expected they will be in the immediate proximity of the Post Office by June 13th.
    We would like to remind all that there is no vehicular access to the Post Office, however
    parking is available on Oak Street as well as George Street West. Do NOT drive beyond the
    Road Closed signs.

    There is a Truck Spotter who guides the trucks when backing across the intersection of Oak and
    George Streets into the construction zone. These trucks have a large blind spot behind them
    and will sound their sound just prior to backing. For everyone’s safety please follow any
    guidance provided by the Spotter.
