<br />
<br />Next week, Berger Excavating is scheduled to begin transferring the individual water services for each home from the old main to the new main on George Court.

The shutoff will last for 2 to 4 hours on average. Once installed, they will ask you to flush your system, and if no one is home, they will use an outside hose bib connection to flush the new service. If you have discolored water, please open your faucets and flush out the lines and the water should clear up.
<br />
<br />Also next week, Berger Excavating is looking to complete various water main connections and fire hydrants on Culver Lane now that the water main has been installed by horizontal directional drilling.
