Summer is here!

The Canby city pool is open for business.

by Ellie Beman

Canby’s city engineering firm, Bolton & Menk have announced details of this summer’s infrastructure project.
The company and city officials will hold an open house for affected property owners at the community center, Thursday, June 17 from 3 to 7 p.m.
The open house is designed to give owners a chance to speak with the engineers on a one-to-one basis.
Kuechle Underground, Inc. of Kimball was the low bidder with an $8.1 million price tag, the lowest of nine bidders.
According to Dean Helstrom of Bolton and Menk, Kuechle anticipates starting work the week of June 21.
Typically, property owners will receive notice of the work to take place. The notice will be attached to the front door if the owner is not available.
The general order of work is expected to be the installation of traffic signs and street barriers., removal of the curbs, gutters, sidewalks and driveways where necessary, installation of temporary water, installation of permanent water, sewer, and storm sewer infrastructure and restoration of curbs, sidewalks, driveways and turf.
The contractors say residents will be notified prior to temporary water shutoffs.
Streets under construction will be closed and residents with driveways on those streets may not have access temporarily.
For property owners with lead water lines, the bad news is their lines will not be reconnected and they will bear the cost of replacing the line from their home to the street.
Under the current policy, the cost of the new line can be added to the resident’s taxes in the form of an assessment.
Contractors will have on-site personnel available to answer questions, according to the city. Residents can direct questions to Phillip DeSchepper, (507) 491-6563, Brian Yavarow, (507) 330-2458 or city engineer Dean Helstrom at (320) 905-1311.
