Hello Rockets and all the (space)ships at sea...

Tomorrow the house on E. Main, that has been the subject of much conversation, is scheduled to be on the ground.

Watch for extra trucks and traffic in the area around it, not to mention the lookee-loos who might ride their brakes to see what is going on.

I know it took a while, but the day is finally here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,
Public Works

Hello Rockets,

Watch for flooding. We got a report of water across the roadways, and sure enough, I think William O'Sullivan can float his cardboard yacht I'm pretty sure!!

Don't drive through it. Turn around.

Thanks,

Hiya Rockets...

I saw a post with someone asking about the barrels on 29, and that reminded me I had not posted what we knew. I meant to do this earlier.

A contractor for the state is doing "pavement patching" from the river through town and ending at Cardinal Hill Road.

Per the locate requests we got.

The dig ticket is not valid till Friday, so work will not begin before that. In my opinion, probably not till Monday. It is a large locate area, they may give us all another day or two.

But it may begin on Friday, so plan your commute accordingly.

Thanks,
Public Works
