are common elements of construction and we ask for your patience during the project. There may be limited street
access on certain blocks. However, deliveries to residential properties and emergency vehicle access will be allowed.
In addition, the DDC will be baiting the construction zone on a regular basis to control rodent populations.

Water Service Interruptions
During the course of this project, temporary water service disruptions will be necessary in order to replace the water
mains. If it is necessary for DDC to turn off your water service, you will receive written notice 72 hours in advance and
again by 4 p.m. the day before service interruption. Water service will be restored everyday by 6pm. If additional shut
downs are required you will receive a new notice daily until work is completed.
