Good Progess Being Made On Our New Water Main

First of all, a huge thank you, Members, for your patience.

We realize that the pilot car, stop lights, flagpersons, road closures, bumpy road, iron plates, and other “fun” on Hot Springs Road, and Pleasant Valley Road, has been a bit trying, and we can’t thank you enough for enduring (and continuing to endure) all of that.

We are making good progress, and all teams are working diligently towards accomplishing our goals. We sincerely hope it hasn’t been too distruptive. We are doing what we can to reduce that disruption, though.

For example, we were asked by the team if they could work on Saturday, September 21st, but because of all the events happening locally we declined.

Obviously there is still work to be done; we appreciate your continued understanding and cooperation. Speaking of which…

Installation of New Water Main in Hot Springs and Pleasant Valley Roads

Markleeville Water Company (MWC) is installing new water mains in Hot Springs Road from Montgomery Street to MWC’s treatment plant (located approximately one-half mile west of the intersection of Hot Springs Road & Pleasant Valley Road). MWC is also installing new water mains in Pleasant Valley Road between Pinon Road & the west end of Timber Lane.

Work will be done this summer starting with the segment of Hot Springs Road between Montgomery Street & Pleasant Valley Road. MWC’s contractor for this work is Haen Constructors.

Key Information:

  • Contractor will provide traffic control through active construction in the roadways. Only one lane will be open, and traffic will be flagged through. Watch for closure notifications and plan for extra travel time during construction.
  • Water service will continue during construction, however some interruptions in service are required. Contractor will notify affected customers 72 hours in advance of any interruption in water service.  

MWC will post future updates regarding the construction here.
