Replacing city owned lead services lines is the primary reason for undertaking this project. We are only replacing lead services on the city side of water line. Photovolts, prioritizers, water and river line replacements based on the available data which includes the water main, brake history, leak history, CCTV inspection, age of the line, line material and whether there are lead service lines. All city owned lead services will be replaced. There are a total of 64 identified lead service lines in this project. Customers affected by the lead service lines were notified by later in December 2019 and again in October 2020. What part of the water line is lead? The city side of the service line starts at water main in the middle of the street and goes to the customer's meter. The city side of the service line is lead. The customer side of the service goes from the meter to the house and includes all plumbing inside the house. It is possible that other plumbing materials like solder, gas fittings or fixtures inside the house may contain lead. Property owners may need to hire a plumber to determine if there are lead plumbing materials inside the house. Where can I get more information? The Fort Worth Water Department offers a free test to determine lead levels in your drinking water. You can call at 817-392-4477. Additional information is available on new city website at www.fortworthtexas.gov slash departments slash water slash lead. Is the street closed during construction? If we use open cut method, the customers will see an open trench that is 3-4 feet wide in the middle of the street. The trench will be covered when the crews are not working on the line. One lane will be open for traffic during construction. You will have access to your home with minimal disruption. Will our water be turned off? A temporary water line will be installed so customers will continue to have water. The water will be turned off for 15-30 minutes when service is transferred from the existing line to a temporary water line and when the service is transferred from temporary to the new water line. Will our sewer service be disrupted? The sewer service will not be interrupted. New sewer clean-outs will be installed at the temporary line. The sewer clean-outs provide close easy access if a backup or blockage occurs. Timeline. The construction begins Monday, November 16th. Shortly or near is the first street phase one on the schedule. The project end date is June 2022. The contractor will put door harness on your front door seven days before and one day prior to the start of construction. Contact. Project manager.

If you want to ask a question, you can unmute yourself one by one, please. Hello. This is BJ Weber from University West. I'm on a phone right now, but I didn't hear exactly when this project should start. Can you say that date again? It starts on November 16th. November 16th? Yeah. Like a few months. Okay. That's on Bishop Avenue. That's the first phase. Okay. And so you said there will be door hangers hung seven days before? Yes. Are we already past due on that? Yes. You will get a door hangers seven days and one day before the construction starts. Is the construction going to be lasting the entire year and a half? Can you say it again? I believe you said the end date was June 21. So I'm sorry. That would be about six months or so. Here properly. I was, I was asking, is it going to be, I mean, a certain area like let's say the University West neighborhood will only be affected for a portion of that time. And as you guys move down the, down the road, is that correct? Yes. The construction will be on phases. The first phase starts on the Shetley Avenue. The construction will last for four to five months. So you won't affect the entire 18 months or 19 months. The entire project. You won't, you won't affect that the entire project here. Usually the construction three to four months in each phases. Okay. Thank you. Okay. We do have some chat questions. The first is, will city services like trash pickup continue uninterrupted? The trash will pick up here. It won't interrupt it. Okay. And the next one is, will this be a reconstruction of streets as well or just water pipe replacement? At the least will the streets be resurfaced to be smooth? I think we said we were doing. We were resurfacing. Yes. We are doing the resurfacing. That is great. Then the state will be repaired after water and sewer installation. Okay. Okay. Someone else has a question and wants to unmute themselves. One by one. This is BJ Weber again from University West. Another quick question. How, how much will the weather effect construction plans? If, if we have a lot of rain or, or a long drought with that. Yeah, will that stretch things out or it is intolerant to weather? You are the temporary water line will be installed during the construction. So your water line will not interrupt only 30 to 15 to 30 minutes. You know, the, when the water line transferring from the temporary water line to a permanent water line and the 15 to 30 minutes, it will be interrupted. I understand that I, my question may not been phrased. Well, I was looking at how long will construction gets stretched out. If we have rain or, or drought. Will that, will that disrupt and start inserting the new pipes or will it be pretty intolerant to any weather delays? It's made the construction may depends, may depends upon the weather. It may the construction usually three to four months, but it may. The weather may affect. It may extend that construction. Okay, thank you. Do you have any other questions about the project that starts on Monday? Several of you were on the Park Hill meeting that we had Monday. So you've heard a lot of these answers already.
