SJWC Water Main Installation – Updates Week of 12/18/23

Posted on by

Dear RESA Community,

For the week of 12/18, the main thoroughfare from upper to lower RE is OPEN.

Below is the breakdown for each day’s water main installation activities:

Monday 12/18

  • Rain anticipated. No crews on any site.

Tuesday 12/19 – Thursday 12/21

  • Pending weather, crews will be working on switching old services over to new services starting from Naomi Court to La Verne.
  • NO roads closed. Anticipate truck traffic.

Sincerely,
RESA Office

As a reminder, SJWC will be temporarily patching our roads as work continues, and will fully repave the roads when all repairs are completed. If you have concerns about the safety of road repair patch conditions, please voice your opinion to SJWC at customer.service@sjwater.com

You may use the following sample message or create your own: I am concerned that the pavement repair patches placed by SJWC after installing water mains are inadequate and pose potentially dangerous driving conditions in my community. Please fully repave the road to restore safety in our neighborhood. Thank you!
