Project Overview

Fire Flow – Project 1 is a critical infrastructure upgrade designed to enhance the reliability and safety of the local water distribution system. The project includes upsizing existing water mains and installing new water connections to address areas that currently do not meet required fire flow standards.

Benefits

• Improved fire protection and public safety
• Increased system capacity and reliability
• Upgraded water mains and connections (some of the existing lines are in place since the 1940s and 1950s)
• Enhanced infrastructure to support future growth

What’s Happening

Starting on the week of Sept. 22 through Oct. 3, 2025, the contractor will mobilize equipment and materials to begin installing a new 12-inch water main along Michigan Court, between 6 Street and 7 Street.

Please note: To help maintain safety and accessibility for machinery and personnel within the work zone, the one-block alley will be fully closed. Residents are encouraged to secure alternate parking in Zone 2 for the duration of the work. Contact public information staff with vehicle details (make, model, tag) to make arrangements for Zone 2 parking. This is a moving operation, and sections will reopen as work progresses.

Construction Timeline

The construction will start in late September 2025, and the anticipated overall project completion is in Fall 2026. There are approximately 20 blocks in various locations throughout the Flamingo Park Neighborhood included in the overall Package 1 project. Infrastructure work on each block section is expected to take approximately five weeks.

What to Expect

• Moderate levels of construction noise are expected during the day.
• Equipment and container storage will be limited to designated areas.
• Machinery and workers will be present on the job site. Residents are advised to use caution when crews are present and to follow all posted signage.
• Pedestrian and traffic detours will be implemented as needed for safety. The alley will be closed while this work is in progress.
• All efforts are being made to minimize impacts to area residents and businesses.
• Restoration activities will take place upon the project’s completion and will address areas impacted by the construction.
• Work schedule may change due to inclement weather or unexpected conditions.

Updates with the scheduled working locations will be provided throughout the project. To join the project email list, please contact us using the information below.
