Tyson Manor, Sunset Manor, Galveston Street, and Erie Street Water Main Replacements Project (WA2203.201)
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 (May 21, 2025):
- Scheduled to begin Tuesday, May 27, and complete prior to school resuming, crews will work in the Alma School Road and Erie Street intersection to install waterline across Alma School Road. This work will take place in phases to maintain at least one lane of travel in each direction on Alma School Road; however, left turn restrictions will be in place. The following sequence will take place with each phase expected to take 2-3 weeks to complete.
- Beginning Tuesday, May 27 - Work will take place in the west side of the Alma School Road/Erie Street intersection with Erie Street CLOSED on the WEST side of Alma School Road.
- Tentatively scheduled to begin June 9 - Work will take place in the middle of Alma School Road with Alma School traffic shifted to the curb lanes and right turns only to/from Erie Street at the intersection.
- Tentatively scheduled to begin in late June - Work will take place in the east side of the Alma School Road/Erie Street intersection with Erie Street CLOSED on the EAST side of Alma School Road.
- Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the planned closures, and message boards will be placed in advance with actual dates.
- Also scheduled to begin Tuesday, May 27, crews will install water pipeline in the north side of Erie Street, beginning at Hartford Street and moving in a westerly direction toward Alma School Road. To accommodate this work, Erie Street will be restricted to eastbound travel only (no westbound travel permitted) from Alma School to Hartford. As this work crosses side streets, crews will ensure alternate access is available or the work will be completed in halves to maintain access to the side street. Work on the north side of Erie Street is expected to be complete by the end of June.
- Resident and business access will be provided 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 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.
