Infrastructure Improvement Project
Phase 2 of the project in South Haven started in mid-August 2024.
All underground work is complete, the first lift of pavement is on. Remaining work is final lift of tar and restoration. Half of the watermain is in and tar is in. Lincoln Avenue needs watermain and tar replacement.
All the underground utility installations for this year are complete. Contractors will continue paving and covering gravel surfaces the week of the Nov. 4th or shortly after on streets that were scheduled to be paved. Clean-up of the yards and seeding and mulching will take place.
South Haven’s old water tower is coming down on 11/05/2024. Seeding and mulching on the water tower site will follow.
The water treatment plant is complete and the old well house on the southwest side of town will be removed.
Construction will begin in the spring again to finish up the utility work on Lincoln Avenue, place the final lift of pavement, and seed the yards and clean up from the project.
Utility installation will continue on Fairhaven, Church and Grant Street. The process of rebuilding the roadbed to gravel on all the streets will start the week of October 7th.
The contractor has started in South Haven. Reclaiming and removals have been completed. The watermain is installed on Oak Avenue and Church Street and they will come back and install service lines to houses. The contractor is also working on the Watermain from CSAH 2 to Oak Ave.
The Contractor plans on starting the week of August 19. Watch for updates later this month.
The Contractor plans on starting the week of August 19, beginning with some tree removal and temporary water set up for residents. Pavement removal will start shortly after. The contractor is planning utility replacement at the end of August.
The following is a summary of the preliminary project schedule:
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.
The City of South Haven, 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 Bryan Caffin, on-site Resident Project Representative (RPR), Kayla Fruth, on-site Resident Project Representative (RPR), or Paul Jurek, Senior Engineer at 320-235-2555.
