expected to be completed
by summer 2021.
According to the DDC,
construction will take
place from Monday to Friday
from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
but they added that some
work might be completed
during nights and weekends
with notice given to
the community.
Hours of operation on
Saturdays and Sunday
will be from 8 a.m. to 6
p.m. and could include
nighttime work
The city agency plans
to install new storm and
sanity sewers, replace
distribution water mains,
manholes, chambers and
catch basins and plant
trees in designated areas.
The list of affected areas
are as follows:
- 204th Street between
Hollis Avenue and 112th
Avenue
- 205th Street between
Hollis Avenue and 112th
Avenue
- Francis Lewis Boulevard

and 112th Avenue

The DDC also released
a community advisory to
give residents a sense of
what to expect over the
next three years.
They warned that
“street access on certain
blocks may be limited”
but deliveries to commercial
and private properties
and emergency vehicle access
would be permitted.
Planned temporary
water service disruptions
will also occur when water
mains are being replaced.
Those affected
will receive written notice
by 4 p.m. the day before
disruptions are scheduled
to happen.
Water service will be
restored by 6 p.m. every
day and notices will be
provided to residents if
additional shutdowns are
necessary.
