A storm drain, water and sewer improvement project is underway in the Detroit Basin/Gazelle Meadows Park area. This project is jointly funded by the City of Chandler and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County. Engineering design and modeling began in spring 2022.
Construction begins in early November with current construction information provided below. During construction, street excavation will be required to install large underground pipes.
Storm drain, water and sewer improvements may include:
- A deeper basin at the Gazelle Meadows Park and other improvements, based on public input
- New potable waterline along Erie Street
- Sewer line rehabilitation along Exeter and Erie streets
- Underground storm drain pipes and inlets near or along Erie, Nevada, Detroit and Hamilton streets

Erie Street is currently closed from just west of Jackson Street and Monte Vista through mid-March. Detour signage is in place to direct travelers around the closure and No Parking signs are in place to prevent parking near the work zone. Access to residences is being maintained; however, it may not be the most direct route. Residential services should not be disrupted during this work; however, please contact us if you experience issues. Residents impacted by planned water outages will receive a door hanger in advance.

Storm drain installation in Nevada and Detroit streets is taking place in two sections:
-
Nevada Street, from Erie to Detroit, and Detroit Street from near Nevada Street to Exeter Street, is currently closed through mid-March.
-
Once this area has been reopened, work will move east, and Detroit Street will be closed between Exeter Street and Hamilton for 1-2 weeks.

Currently scheduled to take place from March 5 – 29, eastbound Erie Street will be closed from the railroad tracks, just east of Delaware Street, to Hamilton Street for sewer pipeline installation. To accommodate this work, crews will install a sewer bypass pipe within the closure to be able to bypass wastewater flows from the existing sewer pipeline to nearby manholes. Westbound Erie Street will remain open during this work.
Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closures and No Parking signs will be placed to prevent parking near the work zone. Access to residences will be maintained; however, it may not be the most direct route. Residential services should not be disrupted; however, please contact us if you experience issues.
Work will take place primarily during daytime hours, seven days a week with traffic control remaining in place 24/7 to protect the work zone.
Thank you for your patience during this work.
