Nighttime Construction Work in Old Monterey Beginning September 25, 2017

Posted on September 20th, 2017 by Old Monterey District

California American Water is continuing construction of the Monterey Pipeline, a 7-mile transmission main that will bring new sources of water to the Monterey Peninsula. This project will involve nighttime construction work that may make noise.

Nighttime construction is planned in downtown Monterey from the intersection of Pacific and Madison and along Polk, Hartnell, Webster and Munras Streets up to the intersection of Fremont and Abrego. The nighttime work involves excavating trenches in existing pavement for installation of a new water pipeline. The contractor will try to keep noise levels low, but you may experience some inconvenience.

Construction is expected to begin the week of September 25, 2017 and will last approximately two months for the entire project to be completed. Construction hours are 7pm-6am. Affected streets will be closed to through traffic or reduced to one lane.

For any questions or feedback related to the project, please call our pipeline hotline at 831-646-3297. The contractor, Garney Construction, may also be reached at 831-901-3483.
