Press release from the City of Arcata:

The City of Arcata is notifying the community that the Steel Waterline Replacement Project is set to begin the week of Monday, July 14.

This project involves the removal and replacement of aging water infrastructure and service lines throughout town. Work extents are spread throughout various locations within City limits. Businesses, property owners and tenants will receive a notice on their door 72-hours prior to start of work and “no parking” signs will be posted a minimum of 48 hours prior to start of work. Temporary water will be provided to affected properties during interruption of service. The City of Arcata has contracted with McCullough Construction for this project.

The first phase of this work will begin along Antoine Avenue, Antoinette Court and Martha Court. In the beginning of August, work is anticipated to begin in the Westwood Subdivision along Wyatt Lane, Stromberg Avenue, Roberts Way and Stewart Avenue. The City will update the project construction website monthly with upcoming dates and locations of work as the project progresses, which can be found at cityofarcata.org/current-construction.

Construction will take place Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on some days the contractor may extend work hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Controlled one-way traffic and temporary road closures will occur during hours of construction, however, efforts will be made to maintain pedestrian access throughout the project. Limitations to on-street parking accessibility adjacent to work sites are expected.

The community is encouraged to sign up for notifications on the City’s CodeRED page for announcements and notifications of any active construction projects. If problems are encountered with this project, please contact McCullough Construction at (707) 825-1014 or the City of Arcata Building and Engineering Department at (707) 825-2128.
