Bezanson Water Main and Curb Stop Replacement | ||||
The Bezanson Water Main and Curb Stop replacement project begins July 15, 2025. The project involves replacing the aging water main and curb stops – the valves that connect homes to the main water line – to ensure the continued reliability and safety of Bezanson’s water system. Residents will see excavation equipment and workers performing groundwork in the hamlet for approximately five weeks. No interruptions to water service are expected during the first two weeks of construction. However, once work nears completion, brief service interruptions will be required as households are connected to the new system. These interruptions are expected to last between 2 to 4 hours during the day. The contractor will deliver letters to affected homes the day before any water service interruption is scheduled. |
