Dwight Way Cluster Replacement Project

completed

Project details: Beginning January 4, 2021, EBMUD crews will install a new water pipeline to improve water service in your Berkeley neighborhood. We will work on: • Milvia Street from Channing Way to Blake Street • Dwight Way from Milvia Street to Shattuck Avenue • Shattuck Avenue from Dwight Way to Parker Street • Parker Street from Shattuck Avenue to Dana Street Intersecting side streets will be temporarily affected as work progresses. We expect to complete pipeline installation by July 2021 with final paving to follow. Schedule: Work hours are 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will provide traffic control. Residents may experience delays of up to 10 minutes when entering and leaving the work area. If you have special needs, please call us and we will make every effort to accommodate. : What to expect : • Equipment and materials will be temporarily located in your neighborhood during construction. • After the new water pipeline is installed, crews will transfer water services, install fire hydrants and make final connections. • Once construction is completed, material and equipment will be removed within 1 to 2 weeks. Water service interruption : Crews will notify you with a door hanger, regarding planned water service interruption to your property. After a service interruption, there may be air in the pipes that may loosen particles in your home plumbing. Close your toilet water supply valves, and then run water from your front hose bib, bathtub and/or cold water faucets for 1-3 minutes. This will dispel any air or loosened particles from your household pipes. If any water quality issues remain after flushing, please call us. Paving: The asphalt paving applied daily is temporary and is designed to provide a safe road surface during construction. Final paving occurs after pipeline work is completed. It may take up to 30 days or longer before final paving is completed. Watch a video on how EBMUD paves streets following pipe replacements.
