The price tag for the project is $2.4 million, which will be funded through the Water Infrastructure and Conservation Adjustment on customers’ bills, according to a press release on May 18. Work hours for the construction project will be from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. during the weekdays, and the project is expected to be finished by August, according to the release.
