Here’s what you should know
- Starting at 7:00 pm on Friday, August 23, the intersection at Stringtown Road, E. Campground Road and Petersburg Road will be heavily restricted or totally closed to all traffic at times while crews tie-in a new waterline. The intersection restrictions are anticipated to be cleared around 7:00am Saturday, August 24.
- Starting around 10:00pm on Friday, August 23, there will be a temporary water outage affecting approximately 850 properties.
