questions and answers (continued)

Will the construction affect access to homes and businesses along the construction route?
Maintaining access to homes and businesses is a priority. When pipeline construction crosses driveways, one-half of an entrance will remain open at all times. Flagmen will direct traffic to ensure safe traffic flow at affected access points.

What anticipated noise disturbances are associated with this project?
You can expect to hear construction noise associated with trucks and heavy equipment that will be on site digging trenches and tunnels for the pipeline installation. Construction is expected to take place Monday thru Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Night and weekend work will be limited.

When will construction begin on this project? And when will the project be completed?
Pipeline construction along Van Dyke Road is scheduled to begin in June 2009 and is expected to be completed one year from the start date.

Where can I get more information?
Construction updates will be periodically posted on Tampa Bay Water’s web site. You can also contact Rick Menzies, project manager, at 813.929.2181, or contact Michelle Rapp, public affairs officer, at 813.996.7009.
