The city is preparing for the Saddlewood Storm Sewer Improvement project near the intersection of Saddlewood Drive and State Hwy 7. This project includes:
Removal of accumulated sediments
Removal of trees impacting pipes and structures
Replacing aged storm sewer pipes
Improvements to drainage
Restoration and vegetation establishment
Project schedule
Construction is scheduled to begin October 2026 and is expected to last a few weeks with final restoration and project completion in spring 2027.
Detailed information will be available on this website. Schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change.
Traffic impacts
Construction access will be from Saddlewood Drive. During construction, there will be minimal traffic impacts. Saddlewood Drive may be reduced to one lane temporarily to allow for staging and construction activities. The contractor will provide traffic control if necessary. Access for residents will be maintained throughout the project.
Please follow construction signs, watch for traffic pattern changes and drive carefully through construction areas.
Will I be assessed?
No. The city does not assess for these improvements. The project is funded through the city's Stormwater Improvement Fund.
