Water main fixes will slow Main Street traffic this week

A water main break in Cambria on October 10 will undergo repair starting Tuesday, slowing traffic on parts of Main Street.

In an online update to Cambria residents, Cambria Community Services District general manager Matthew McElhenie outlined the multi-day construction schedule and partial road closures along Main Street this week.

Day One - Tuesday, October 17:

• South Bound Lane of Main Street will be closed from 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
• Excavation begins to install one 10” Valve at the 90* elbow to energize the entire distribution system, except for the forty feet of transmission line perpendicularly crossing Main Street.

Day Two - Wednesday, October 18:

• North Bound Lanes of Main Street will be closed at 7:00 a.m. - TBD.
• Excavation begins to install one 10” Valve at the just repaired connection on Main. This installation replaces the 10” Tee and Valve, connecting the current system to newly relocated transmission lines. While the connection is being performed, trenching and preparation for the new line crossing Main St. occurs.

Day Two - Wednesday, October 18:

• 7:00 p.m. – 5:00 a.m. Overnight Main Street distribution system partially shut down for tie-in. The areas previously affected by the isolation for the leak will be the same locations affected by the repair.

Day Three & Four - Thursday, October 19 and Friday, October 20:

• Main Street surface restoration.
