Beginning on Monday September 28th, the City of Watertown will close East Main Street to through traffic from North Concord Avenue to the east side of the bridge at the intersection of East Water St. & East Main St. for utility work. (the bridge will not be open to traffic). The road will be closed during the day (7 am – 5 pm) and reopened at the end of the day for overnight traffic. The work is expected to be completed by October 2nd.  The closure is weather dependent.

The City of Watertown Water Department applied for and received a grant through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to replace public and private lead service laterals. 5 Star Infrastructure Services of Waukesha, WI, is scheduled to begin the work on Monday September 28th, with an anticipated completion by end of the day on October 2nd.

A signed detour route will be posted by the contractor in advance of the road closure. Motorists are encouraged to use caution when traveling near the work zone and consider alternate routes when possible. The road will be closed during the day (approximately 7 am – 5 pm) and reopened at the end of the day for overnight traffic. 

The City appreciates the public's patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure work is completed. If there are questions, please call or email Pete Hartz, Water Systems Superintendent: phartz@watertownwo.gov, 920-262-4075.
