The work on the pipelines started Monday near Timm and Peaceful Glen Roads. Cross said that they don't anticipate delays or any other problems in constructing the Rural North Vacaville Water District, which has been plagued by controversy since its inception. The construction is pretty straight-forward. I think the major issue is going to be access. Much of the network of pipe will be laid on the shoulders of roadways in the rural hills.
Residents can expect the equipment and workers to cause some traffic problems in the area.
Teichert Construction, a California construction firm with an office in Davis, will link and bury the pipe. The pipe work will last the length of the project, said Hank Duggins, a foreman with Teichert. Residents around English Hills and Stieger Hill will be notified as construction develops and is phased into the area, said Lucinda Dustin, spokeswoman for CH2M Hill. The construction management business will hold an open house about the specifics of the construction schedule at the rural Vine Street Fire Station on May 23. The rural nature of the area could cause problems in getting all residents informed.
