The City of Douglas will be working on various projects over the coming week.  The work is being completed by the City of Douglas Public Works Department and is part of the Mayor and Council’s ongoing infrastructure improvement program.

Continued Notice of Construction Work - The City of Douglas Sewer Rehabilitation Phase I Project which began in March 2007 should be completed by the fall of 2007.  Due to the extent and scope of this work, certain streets and alleyways may be closed and therefore alternate routes will be implemented.  We will continue to notify adjacent property owners on a weekly basis when these periods will occur.  On Tuesday, November 13th through Friday, November 16th,  sewer line replacement will continue for this project on Bonita Avenue and Carmelita Avenue between 14th and 15th Streets.  Water and/or sewer services will be affected for short periods of time.  Please call Mr. David Gonzales at 234-1817, if you have questions.

Tuesday, November 13th through Friday, November 16th,  2007, concrete work will continue in the area of 8th Street to 6th Street from Los Angeles to Rose Avenue.  Curbing, gutters, and sidewalk concrete work will begin from H Ave to Pan American Avenue between 10th and 11th Streets.

Fire Hydrant maintenance and water system maintenance will also continue throughout the city.  Caution should be taken when driving or walking near or around an area where city personnel are flushing & testing fire hydrants.

ADOT will continue with intersection improvements on SR80/US191 (by the Motor Vehicle Department) with projected completion by November 2007.  These improvements will include periodic restricted traffic.

There will also be other miscellaneous concrete repairs, pothole patching, and graffiti cleanup throughout the city.  If you should have any problems with water and/or sewer services on the weekend or a holiday, please contact the Douglas Police Department at 364-8422 and staff on call will be dispatched to your residence.  The City of Douglas asks that you please use caution while driving or walking through these construction zones.  Please help keep everyone safe.
