Tyson Manor, Sunset Manor, Galveston Street, and Erie Street Water Main Replacements Project (WA2203.401)
Construction began in May for the City of Chandler's water main replacement project which will replace water pipeline, associated residential service connections, and fire hydrants in Erie Street, Sunset Manor, and Tyson Manor. Fire hydrants will also be installed in Hartford Street between Chandler Boulevard and Erie Street. A future phase of the water main replacement project will take place in Arrowhead Meadows neighborhood. These neighborhoods are located north of Chandler Boulevard to Galveston Street, between Alma School Road and Hartford Street, and portions of the project include relocating the waterline from the alley behind the residences to the street in front of the residences.
Chandler selected Achen-Gardner Construction to construct these improvements which will take place in phases (see graphic) with the following tentative schedule (subject to change). Completion is expected by the end of 2025:
- Phase 1: Erie Street & Alma School – late May thru late July 2025
- Phase 2: Sunset Manor – mid-May thru mid-October 2025
- Phase 3: Galveston Street – late September thru early October (school’s Fall Break)
- Phase 4: Tyson Manor – late September thru mid-December 2025
Current Construction Information (July 25, 2025):
- Crews continue work to trench and install main waterline in Pleasant Drive, from Flint Street north to Galveston Street with Pleasant Drive restricted to SOUTHBOUND travel only (no northbound travel) between Flint and Galveston Street. Main waterline installation is expected to continue over the next 2-3 weeks. Installation of lateral lines will begin the week of July 28, and installation of residential water services will follow, scheduled to begin the week of August 4.
- Scheduled for the week of July 28 also, residential service crews will begin tying over residential water services along Flint Street, between Evergreen and Sunset streets. This work is being coordinated with the respective property owners or residents via door hanger or other contact.
- Scheduled to begin the week of July 28, crews will conduct potholing in Vine Street, from Erie Street to Toledo Street, to identify the specific depth and location of underground utilities to minimize conflicts during construction. To accommodate this work, Vine Street will be restricted to local traffic only for residents and their visitors, or for residential services. Waterline installation will follow, tentatively scheduled to begin mid-week next week, with installation of lateral lines and residential water services beginning approximately August 6.
- Scheduled to begin the week of August 11, crews will conduct potholing in Toledo Street, from east of Vine Street to Evergreen Street, to identify the specific depth and location of underground utilities to minimize conflicts during construction. To accommodate this work, Toledo Street will be restricted to local traffic only for residents and their visitors, or for residential services. Waterline installation will follow, and then installation of lateral lines and residential water services.
- Resident and business access is being maintained during this work although it may not be the most direct route. On-street parking may not be permitted with "No Parking" signs posted in advance, where necessary to accommodate the work effort.
- Residential services, such as mail and trash pick-up, should not be disrupted; however, if you experience issues or have special needs which need to be accommodated, please contact us. Those impacted by planned disruptions to water service will be notified in advance via door hanger.
