Hein Construction has now crossed over to the south side of the 300 block of W. 4^th Street with the new storm sewer and has proceeded south across a private property easement to construct the "cornfield leg" of the storm sewer project.  Two drain inlets have been installed near the cornfield behind the homes on W. 4th street to alleviate the ponding that threatens the homes in that neighborhood.  Storm water may occasionally pond in that area during significant rainfall events, but to a much lesser extent and for a much shorter period of time than in the past.

The week of Sept. 26 will see progress on the west leg of the 4^th Street storm sewer.  Starting at 4^th and Johnson, the new storm sewer will travel west along the north side of 4^th Street until it reaches the termination point at Jefferson Street.

Sidewalk and driveway apron reconstruction along the storm sewer path continues at a very good pace.  Hein Construction will soon start landscaping efforts to prepare the excavated areas with black dirt and grass seed.
