Residents may notice workers accessing the sewer system through manhole covers on or near their property, but LWR says there should be no disturbance to private property. However, they ask that private vehicles and other items be removed from these sewer areas before September 3.
Residents should expect temporary traffic controls in some work areas. Motorists should expect minor delays and use caution when driving through work areas.
