Fountain City residents should expect to see many changes in the coming weeks as the town’s water project nears completion, and the town’s stormwater project gets underway.
Residents who have been frustrated by torn up yards and roadways and changes to their water’s color, smell and pressure will have to endure a few more weeks.
Representatives of Cobalt Civil LLC in Winchester, the project’s contractor, and Triad, the project’s engineering firm, assured those residents attending the Fountain City Town Council’s June 7 meeting that the end is in sight.
The Cobalt Civil representative said water service still had to be hooked up to about six homes. Additionally, there were four fire hydrants to install and three tie-ins to complete. While that work continues, yard, sidewalk and street restoration will continue.
