TOWN OF ALDERSON POST OFFICE BOX 179 CITY BUILDING—202 SOUTH MONROE STREET ALDERSON, WEST VIRGINIA 24910 TELEPHONE (304) 445-2916 NEWS RELEASE - June 13, 2018

Fema Mitigation And Flood Repair Update: The   first   phase   of   repairs   are   complete.   We   will   be   paving   the   last   section   of   Maple Avenue   East   that   was torn   up   in   the   next   phase   of   the   project.   The   area   not   being   paved   is   area   that   is   likely   to   be   torn   up   in   the next phase of the project. Our   team   met   and   began   working   on   the   design   phase   of   the   next   round   last   week.   We   figure,   based   on the   time   to   get   the   concrete   drop   inlets   delivered,   pipe   delivered,   and   the   design   completed   will   take   about 3-4   weeks.   There   will   still   be   some   torn   up   streets   for   the   4th   of   July,   but   the   real   tearing   up   will   begin   on July 9th. We   will   be   working   in   the   Elmwood,   Linden,   and   Maple   Avenue   and   Lee,   Chase,   and   Virginia   Street   as well   as   Riverview   drive   at   those   streets   that   intersect   it   when   the   project   resumes   7/9.   We   are   focusing   on this area due to the recess of school and hope to have the work completed before school resumes. There   are   also   two   major   hydrant   repairs   to   be   done   in   this   area   that   will   require   Water   to   be   shut   off during   the   repairs.   We   will   notify   customers   accordingly   on   those   days   and   do   our   best   to   get   the   work done as quickly as possible to not inconvenience you more. You   may   have   seen   new   pink   dots   on   the   West   end   of   town   over   the   past   few   days.   The   Triad   surveyors are   here   and   working   on   the   third   phase   of   the   surveys   so   we   can   keep   moving   into   that   phase   once phase three is complete. Sorry   for   the   inconvenience,   but   in   order   to   fix   the   unseen   infrastructure   correctly,   it   takes   getting   to   it   to   fix it.   Remember   we   used   robotic   cameras   immediately   after   the   flood   to   see   what   our   subsurface   damages were   after   the   flood.   Now,   between   mitigation   of   future   issues   and   repairs   of   these,   we   must   go   to   the areas the cameras found damages.
