As the infrastructure improvement initiative known as Monrovia Renewal continues to unfold, the city would like to remind residents that the water service line replacement portion of the project is now underway.
The project’s contractor, T.A. Rivard Inc., officially began replacing water service lines throughout the southwest and southeast project areas on Monday. Work will take place in the street and the contractor may need to cut into the curb, based on the local condition at each water service line.
During construction, parking will be restricted in the locations where work is taking place, and partial street closures will occur during working hours.
Based on the construction phasing plan that has been developed, T.A. Rivard Inc. will have crews working on a rolling basis throughout the southwest and southeast project areas, hitting between two and five locations per day. A backhoe loader truck and up to five crew members will be present to complete the work, and the construction will be taking place between the hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
It is also important to note that water service to residences and/or businesses may need to be shut off temporarily while work is being completed. Please know, however, that notice will be given 48 hours in advance of any temporary water service interruption. Furthermore, if you receive a notice that your water service will be impacted and if you have a safety or health-related concern regarding the brief water shut-off process, please contact the public works division immediately at (626) 932-5575 or via email at monroviarenewal@ci.monrovia.ca.us.
