Storm Water Maintenance In Town Square Scheduled

This from the project manager for Town Square:>

Rockville City Public Works department will be working in the Town Square for the next three weeks. They will be replacing the lids to the storm water interceptors throughout the plaza. The general purpose is to adjust them to handle increased traffic loads and level them up.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks for the heads up!

[UPDATE]

Belay that last! Says Rockville facilities people:

This is a follow up to the notification sent to you earlier this week regarding the project to replace the lids on the access hatches to the storm water management facility in the Town Square Plaza. We are informing you that the City has decided to put this project on hold once the first of the six hatches is finished.

It is possible to delay this project until the outdoor season is winding down in the fall. This was determined to be the preference given the amount of noise, dust, etc. involved. This does not mean that there will never be the need to perform street or plaza repairs that are disruptive. If, for example, a water main burst, that is the type of project that would have to done immediately, while of course minimizing the disruptive elements associated with the repairs. We will make every effort to keep all of you informed when the need for such projects or repairs arise.

The lids that cover access hatches to the storm water management sand filters located beneath the Town Square Plaza near the grass area need be replaced, as the current lids do not have the appropriate load bearing rating to handle traffic on the plaza, and they are currently somewhat of a tripping hazard. There are six lids involved, each approximately 4-1/2′ by 5′. The new lids are galvanized steel lids painted to blend in with the existing pavers.
