WELL FIELD WORK CONTINUES IN CITY

Frederick, Md. --- Please be advised that during the week of February 6 - 10, 2006, Mid-Atlantic Utilities, Inc. subcontractors will be on site performing their final installations at the Zenon Plant and Wells 3, 4 and 7. Additionally, crews will be pouring the concrete pads for the control panels at each well site. This work will also include some minor site grading around each of the control panel locations to level the site area for the concrete pads and fencing.
Please note the impact to the affected area:
1. Traffic control devices such as traffic cones, signs and arrow boards will be used to limit traffic to one lane during the hours of 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
2. As work progresses, please use caution in areas that have been stabilized and restored. Please do not walk or drive across areas that have been stabilized and restored with seed and straw, as they may be wet or soft and hard to navigate until grass has been reestablished in these areas.
3. During normal working operations, residents should anticipate normal construction equipment noise levels from backhoes, dump trucks, compaction equipment, etc.
4. Please exercise caution when driving or walking in the vicinity of the work area, during or after working hours. Areas that have been marked or enclosed with orange safety fence, or traffic cones indicate a potential hazard. Please stay clear of these areas.
We apologize for any inconvenience this street work may have on you. Thank you for your cooperation!
