Water Main Replacement Project
The Water Department and its consulting engineers are in the midst of a multi-million dollar upgrade of water lines and valves in the area of Central Nyack and West Nyack as well as certain streets in Nyack (S Mill, Prospect, High Ave). The engineering consultant is H2M and the contractor is GCE. The work involves replacing water mains and lateral lines, meaning excavations in the roadway. After excavations are complete, trenches are filled. The Department is collaborating closely with Clarkstown Highway around re-paving of trenches in Central Nyack, in compliance with its town issued permits for this project. The streets in Nyack will be repaved as part of the village’s annual paving program.
Central Nyack project update: 5/5/22 week of 5/9 work will include installation of an insertion valve, draining/cutting of the old water main on Waldron Ave, followed by milling and paving of water main trench according to town permits (town may delay this work to arrange for a more complete paving process). Next step will be restoration of the stamped concrete crosswalks. Dept staff, H2m and village officials met with town staff and officials on 5/4 to review project status. Department staff will present an update to Central Nyack Civic Association at next meeting on 5/19 in the community center.
