Anticipated Schedule

The following is a summary of the preliminary project schedule:

  • August 2024: Start of Construction
  • September 2025: Final Completion

During construction, there will be some additional heavy truck and equipment traffic coming through town. It will be necessary to close streets partially or completely to vehicular traffic for your safety. Street parking may also be restricted at some times and in certain areas.

Watermain replacement will require temporary watermains to provide water access throughout construction as watermains are taken offline for replacement. During key connections, you may experience brief water service interruptions and temporary changes in water quality as sediment in the pipe is disturbed by construction.

Project Costs & Funding

  • Project Funding for the Lake Lillian Infrastructure Improvements is 100% grants: $4.599M
  • Kuchle Underground will be constructing $2.3 million of project as show on the map in 2024 with the remaining project to be going out for bids in the Fall of 2024.
