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 (July 3, 2025):
- Crews are nearing completion to install waterline in the Alma School Road and Erie Street intersection with work taking place in the east side of the intersection and Erie Street CLOSED on the EAST side of Alma School Road.
- Crews are also nearing completion of waterline installation in the south side of Erie Street, from Hartford Street to Alma School Road. To accommodate this work, Erie Street is restricted to WESTBOUND travel only (no eastbound travel permitted) from Hartford to Alma School. 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.
- Scheduled for the week of July 7, crews will conduct testing of the new waterline, conduct any tie-in's to the water system, and begin restoration of the Alma School and Erie Street intersection and also Erie Street, from Hartford to Alma School to be able to remove traffic restrictions by July 15, in advance of school resuming.
- Scheduled for the week of July 7 also, residential service crews will begin tying over residential services along Erie Street.
- Scheduled to begin the week of July 14, crews will conduct potholing in Pleasant Drive, from Flint Street north to Galveston Street, to identify the specific depth and location of underground utilities to minimize conflicts during construction. To accommodate this work, Pleasant Drive will be restricted to SOUTHBOUND travel only (no northbound travel permitted) between Flint and Galveston Street. Waterline installation will follow, tentatively scheduled to begin the week of July 21.
- 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 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.
