Description
King Street Water Pipe exposed and dangerous. Now that soft pipe in under pressure, it poses many problems to all that interact with it daily. For pedestrians, the pipe is right on the sidewalk. The metal fittings/valves jump all over anytime anybody a hundred feet in either direction drive over it. Could take someone out. I have to walk my motorcycle over it exiting driveway. A loose loop of it almost hit my toddler as her mother walked her by and a car made their 3rd attempt to drive over it. Family member bottomed out her car on it and its honestly hard to drive over it smoothly. Sidewalk is completely obsteucted in areas by clear smaller diameter tubing. Most of the hazzards are not marked at all. This project is coming at a heavy cost in dollars, and general inconvenience, as well as blatant neglect for general safety of citizens.. Lets tighten up safety and speed. I know its King St, but we pay taxes and are being billed for the work.. Do something!

The hoses on King Street have been pinned down to reduce movement when cars drive over them. Signage will be also posted soon to warn people about this temporary water line. While we apologize for the inconvenience, relining of our existing water mains as opposed to open-dig replacement will reduce overall project time/disruption from months to weeks. Thank you for your patience.
