Amador County - The Amador Water Agency will begin work today on the water main upgrade project in Sutter Creek. The project work will take place on Broad Street, beginning at Eureka Street and continuing north across Gopher Flat Road to Mill Street. The Agency is coordinating with the City to increase water flows in and through Sutter Creek. The water main upgrade is designed to alleviate a “bottleneck” in the Amador Water System in downtown Sutter Creek. The upgrade will assure that Sutter Creek residents north of town and customers in Amador City, Drytown and Plymouth will have adequate water pressure and supply. Amador Water Agency construction crews will begin locating utilities starting May 26th. Excavation will begin June 8 and the project will be complete before school starts on August 19th. (VIDEO) Once excavation and pipe placement is underway, it will be necessary to close portions of Broad Street, Eureka Street, Gopher Flat Road, Mill Street, and Randolph Street to through traffic during the day only. Scheduled water outages will be necessary as well. The City and the Water Agency will notify affected residents and businesses in advance when that work is scheduled and will try to keep this inconvenience to a minimum. Barry Birge, AWA Construction Superintendent is the Agency contact for any questions regarding the project. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
