WATER SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION
The City of Midland Utilities Department is asking for the cooperation of all residents during the installation of new equipment. The project is part of the water system improvements that will increase water pressure and the volume of water throughout the city.  

Starting Wednesday, April 16, 2008, excavation work will begin in the vicinity of Edgewood Drive and Story Drive in preparation for pipeline work.  This is a good photo/video opportunity for the news media to help let residents know how they can help next week.

Beginning Monday, April 21, 2008, the city will be draining water storage tanks and pipes in preparation for installation of new valves.  During the draining procedure, there will be a large quantity of water running down alleys and streets in the general area of Illinois Avenue and Midland Drive.  Motorists are asked to watch for flashing lights and closed intersections in this area.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, April 22 & 23, 2008, the city will have to shut down a portion of the system to complete the valve installation.  Citizens are asked to watch their water use during these two days and refrain from using water outdoors.
