Water Pipeline Replacement Project Along Snowpeak Way + Matterhorn Place

During the week of May 24, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District (District) will begin a water pipeline replacement project along the portions of Snowpeak Way and Matterhorn Place shown on the map here. This project involves replacing all of the District-owned mains, fire hydrants, service laterals and service boxes. The privately-owned service laterals from the service box to the structure will not be replaced as part of this work.

This work will be performed by Rapid Construction, under contract to the District. The construction work is currently scheduled from 8AM to 4:30PM on Monday through Friday. Construction is not planned for Saturday or Sunday. It is expected that this work will take about 4-5 weeks to complete.

During the construction, there will be heavy machinery and a working crew in the area. During the workday, vehicular traffic through the work zone will be limited and it is recommended that you select an alternate route if possible. For property owners directly in the work zone on a given day, it will be necessary to park down the street temporarily and walk to your property until work has been completed for the day. Residents will have full vehicular access outside the working hours noted above. However, there may be trench plates, temporary paving and/or unpaved areas in the work zone until the construction is completed. Please take care and allow adequate time in your schedule to accommodate the construction work.

For the most part, water service to residences should not be disrupted. Towards the end of the construction period, the water service will be shut off for about a four-hour period in order to disconnect a residence from the old pipe and connect it to the newly installed pipeline. Residents will receive additional notification regarding when such outages will occur.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project, please contact Neil Kaufman (District Water System Engineer) at (530) 582-3950.
