WHIDDON AVENUE WATER MAIN WORK STARTED

The existing undersized and degraded 6" water main running along Whiddon Avenue between State Road 24 and Gulf Boulevard will be replaced between December 16 and Christmas Eve.

Using a trenchless technology called pipe bursting the contractor will pull the new 8" water main thru the existing 6" pipe. The existing smaller diameter pipe will be burst in place with a cone-shaped cutting tool with the new 8" pipe pulled behind it.

Some advantages of this method include faster construction times, minimizing the need for open trenches and much less customer disruption. The new water main will increase the gallons-per-minute flow, quality of the water and provide addition fire protection. Additionally, new fire hydrants will be installed in areas that did not have adequate pro-tection.


The Contractor will be notifying customers along Whiddon Avenue that they will have an interruption in their water service at some point between December 15 and December 24. The Contractor will go door to door with information at lease one day in advance, notifying customers of the service interruption.


Customers along Whiddon Avenue will experience an interruption in water service as water lines are temporarily shut down and new lines connected. The duration of the interruption may last between 8 Am and 3 PM


For the safety of school and local traffic, Whiddon Avenue will be temporary closed between State Road 24 and "G" Street during the day on Saturday, December 18. It will reopen Saturday evening. Traffic all along Whiddon will be slowed, and temporary lane closures will occur during construction.


The Cedar Key CRA and Cedar Key Water & Sewer District will be monitoring and assisting as needed. The direct number to the CRA office is 352-543-6539. If not in the office, Greg Lang can be reached at 352-222-8372.
