Phase II is from Switzer Canyon Drive to approximately Oak Avenue at approximately $1.2 Million.  Phase III of the Switzer Canyon transmission line replacement will extend from Oak Avenue to past the Elks Club in Switzer Canyon.   
 
Construction impacts may include traffic detours, temporary lane closures with traffic flagging and temporary access to parcels with signage.  Coordination with property and business owners will be made for water service disconnects and reconnects. 

Project expenditures will be funded by the current total budget appropriation of $1,546,259 from the Utilities program (201-08-370-3311-0).
