What is the District doing to make sure children from schools near the project are safe?
The District will take any and all precautions within school zones to ensure the safety of the school children. In areas where crosswalks are impacted, District staff is working with school officials to come up with a workable solution, and pedestrian access for students and parents will be maintained around the schools. It’s important for parents to discuss important safety issues with their children and teach them not to play on or near bypass sewer lines or in construction zones. In the event of a sewer spill, children and parents need to take precautions to not come into contact with any of the waste.
