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

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 13^th. 

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.

Between truck arrivals, the Spotter is wetting the road, including the intersection, to mitigate any dust.

We would also like to remind everyone in the construction zone to have their garbage and recycle containers out by 7 a.m. whereby the contractor can collect both the garbage and the containers, bring to an accessible location for the collectors, and return the containers after collection is complete.
