Project Schedule

In an effort to limit the impact to commuters, residents and businesses at any given time, the South End Water Main (SWM) Improvement Project will be phased out in sections along South Blvd. Although the work is not taking place simultaneously, there will still be some overlap throughout the project. This overlap is detailed below and will be updated throughout the duration of the work.
