WHAT ARE THE COMMUNITY IMPACTS? The DDC is committed to maintaining a work site that is safe and clean. However, dust, noise and heavy equipment

are common elements of construction and we ask for your patience during the project. There may be limited street

access on certain blocks. However, deliveries to residential properties and emergency vehicle access will be allowed.

In addition, the DDC will be baiting the construction zone on a regular basis to control rodent populations.

Water Service Interruptions During the course of this project, temporary water service disruptions will be necessary in order to replace the water

mains. If it is necessary for DDC to turn off your water service, you will receive written notice 72 hours in advance and

again by 4 p.m. the day before service interruption. Water service will be restored everyday by 6pm. If additional shut

downs are required you will receive a new notice daily until work is completed.
