Water line replacements begins Monday in Pocatello

Crews are scheduled to start replacing the water main lines on Ridge Street and U.S. Highway 30 in Pocatello on Monday, September 25.

Crews will start work along Ridge Street from Hawthorne Road to U.S. Highway 30 and then begin on U.S. Highway 30 from Hilliard Street to Ridge Street, and construction will be from 7 a.m. to approximately 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

During the project, access to the construction area will be restricted, and sections of the street will be completely closed while workers are digging; however, officials said every effort will be made to provide local access to the area when possible.

Parking will also be restricted in the construction zone, and residents are asked to park all vehicles away from the area during the day.

At the close of each day, access will be restored to all properties.

The work may cause short-term disruptions to water service. Individuals in and around the construction zone are encouraged to keep a supply of drinking water available.

The project is anticipated to last six weeks.
