Mt. Vernon, NY - The Board of Water Supply is presently under contract to rehabilitate major distribution mains in various sections of Mount Vernon.  It is anticipated that construction will start the week of March 31, 2008. 

1.      East Devonia Avenue from Central Parkway to North Columbus Avenue.
2.      Parkway East - entire length.
3.      Huntwood Place – entire length.
4.      Vernon Parkway from Central Parkway to Parkway East.
5.      RockridgeRoad - entire length.
6.      Columbia Place - entire length.
7.      Raynor Avenue – entire length.
8.      Forster Parkway - entire length.
9.      Parkway Circle - entire length.
10.  Palmer Avenue - entire length.
11.  Carwell Avenue – entire length.

The nature of this project, i.e., cleaning and cement lining of existing old water mains, necessitates that all customers served by these mains be put on temporary services.  (Bypass pipes.)

The temporary lines will be laid on top of the ground in the curb or sidewalk area and will provide buildings with water while the rehabilitation is progressing.  There may be some temporary inconveniences for residents in the affected areas, but they are outweighed by the overall benefits to the City, especially with regard to fire protection.
