Project Updates - July 14

CLARKSBURG WATER AND SEWER PROJECT UPDATES

Weekly update from Bobby Tenney (Senior Project Representative) on the Clarksburg Water Board (CWB) and Clarksburg Sanitary Board (CSB) Projects:

This is the update for the week of 7/7– 7/11 and the schedule for the week of 7/14.

As customers are connected to the new water line, informational handouts will be provided to them or left at their residence. These materials will outline the steps residents need to take depending on the material of their existing service line. If a resident's line qualifies for a cost-free replacement, the participation form must be returned to the Thrasher project representative onsite. For any questions regarding the handouts, please speak with the Thrasher representative onsite or contact the CWB, and someone will follow up with you. I am also including the handouts for the customers connected to the new water line.
