A Public Information meeting regarding the upcoming Knoll Wood Way Water Main Replacement project was held on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City 
Hall, which is located at 75 N. Bonson Street, Platteville, Wisconsin 53818.

The City of Platteville will be replacing the water main on Knoll Wood Way from STH 80/81 to Emily Street (which is where the Oakhaven Subdivision begins). This project will only be replacing the water main with minimal pavement and curb and gutter replacement.
This project will be bid in February/March 2026 with work anticipated to begin in early summer 2026 and be completed in early fall 2026. Construction should last approximately 2 months.

In late spring or early summer there will be a second Public Information meeting that will focus on the construction and its impact on traffic and the Knoll Wood and Oakhaven neighborhoods. At that time all residents in these two neighborhoods will be invited.
