This past week:

  • Monday: Temperley continued to break up and remove concrete to prepare for the valve replacement on Oak Street.

  • Wednesday: Temperley replaced water main and a valve on Pine Street. They also tied in the Oak Street water main to Pine Street.
     
  • Thursday: Temperley continued replacing water main up the street until the Second Street intersection.
     
  • Friday: Temperley set up a temporary water service to Live Well Chiropractic and then continued to break up concrete until the patch in front of Live Well Chiropractic.

Next week's plan:

  • Monday: There will be a water shut off from 8 am to 4 pm for Second Street while Temperley replaces the water main in that intersection. Those who will be affected by this shut off have been notified.

Temperley will continue to replace water main up Pine Street as the week progresses.

Pine Street Water Main Replacement Project
Public Information Meeting #1
City of Platteville, Wisconsin

The City of Platteville will be holding a Public Information Meeting on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. in the Common Council Chambers at City Hall to discuss the replacement of water main and concrete pavement on Pine Street from Oak Street to Chestnut Street.

As a property owner, business owner, and/or resident of the blocks adjacent to Pine Street, you are well aware of the water main break that occurred on April 8, 2025 that caused significant damage to Pine Street and adjoining properties.  The City Council and the Water and Sewer Commission have deemed that another water main break is inevitable and so have taken action to replace this pipe.

The purpose of this Public Information Meeting is to discuss the scope of the project, the anticipated duration of the project, and traffic impacts to not only Pine Street but also the side streets between Main Street and Pine Street.  We will also discuss the proposed detour of west bound traffic on State Trunk Highway 81.  At the meeting I will be giving a brief presentation regarding the project and impacts with a question-and-answer period to follow.  The City’s Director of Public Works, Howard Crofoot, will also be present to answer any questions.

If you have specific comments or concerns or if you cannot attend the meeting, please feel free to contact me at (608) 348-5355 x1002 or e-mail me at dreessensd@delta3eng.biz.  You may also contact Howard at (608) 348-9741 x2240 or e-mail him at crofooth@platteville.org.
