What lies beneath Elmwood, Reveley, and Parkwood Streets?

This neighborhood was built over a century ago and includes the following infrastructure:

  • 102-106 year-old watermain and sewer mains
  • Lead pipes bring water from the watermain in the street to homes, which is a potential water quality hazard
  • Its been at least 10 to 27 years since the streets were resurfaced
  • Water flow to fire hydrants is too low, which creates a potential safety hazard

In comparison, new sewers and watermains last 50 years and newly resurfaced streets last 9 to 12 years.
