Line replacement to cause traffic inconvenience

SLC Construction, a private contractor hired by the City of Laredo, will temporarily cause traffic inconvenience along Jefferson Street between Santa Rita Avenue and Pinder Avenue in order to replace an existing 20-inch water line.

Construction is scheduled for June 16 through July 14 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Water services will not be interrupted at this time. The contractor will provide a 24-hour notification (through a flier) to each customer or property to be affected.

The replacement of the water line is anticipated to take approximately four weeks for completion. Progress updates will be made available by the Utilities Department.

Motorists and pedestrians traveling through the area are cautioned to heed all posted traffic control signs and devices to provide safety to all citizens.

To report water or wastewater service problems, contact the City of Laredo Utilities Emergency Call Center at (956) 721-2010.
