  • May 20-31: Excavation, pipe install, backfill, pressure testing & flushing, pipe cutting to take place inside new fence enclosure.
    • This will be disruptive work with loud noise and vibrations.
  • May 27-31: New Fire Department Connection & Hydrant tie-in;
    • will shut down sprinkler service to Building E for one half day (specific date TBD)
    • The building will still be able to operate normally.
    • Firewatch will be provided by the construction team.
  • June 3: Fence restored to current set up.
