Construction is currently underway. Stay tuned for future updates!
Wood Lake’s infrastructure improvements consists of replacement of watermains, sanitary and storm sewers, and the repaving of affected roadways.
The map below shows areas that will be directly affected by construction activities. During construction, expect to see heavy truck and equipment traffic, closed streets, and limited street parking at times. Turf restoration of disturbed areas, such as lawn grading and seeding, will also take place. Your efforts in helping water newly seeded areas will promote growth of a thicker, healthy lawn faster. Watch for a future door hanger with helpful tips you can follow for growing a healthy lawn.
Watermain replacement will require temporary watermains to provide water access throughout construction as watermains are taken offline for replacement. During key connections, residents may experience brief water service interruptions and temporary changes in water quality as pipe is disturbed by construction.
Construction is currently underway, with the underground utility and first lift of pavement planned to be completed before the winter. The final lift of pavement and all restoration work will take place prior to substantial completion in the summer of 2027. The following is a summary of the project schedule (weather dependent):
It takes time and persistence to secure grant funding for infrastructure projects, but it is the only way to avoid drastic increases in user rates. To date, Wood Lake has received almost $10.5 million dollars in grant funding for infrastructure improvements! We continue to work with your City Council to minimize rate increases by securing additional grant funding for future phases of this project.
The City of Wood Lake, Contractors, and Bollig Engineering ask that everyone stay clear of construction zones, obey construction signs, and be safe and cautious around construction equipment. If you have questions or concerns about the project, please contact any of the Bollig representatives below.
