PLYMOUTH — City of Plymouth Utility Superintendent Donnie Davidson updated the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety on the current city water main upgrade project.
The work has experienced several snags, one of which over the work to be done on Lake Avenue near the railroad tracks. The city needed the approval of the railroad to work in their right of way, and just which railroad company owned the ground was the first snag, with the city finally confirming that the Genesee and Wyoming Railroad had the rights to the right of way. After finally obtaining permission for the work, the delay had taken long enough that the city subcontractor for the work will not be able to get to the work before the end of the year.
Because of that delay, Davidson told the board that Gennesee and Wyoming may charge more money.
The work on Jefferson Street continues, and Davidson told the board that he was very disappointed with the speed and inconvenience caused by the contractor.
