A water main replacement project is resuming this week along Southeast Pine Street between Southeast Oak Avenue and Southeast Sykes Avenue in Roseburg.

A city release said a project that began in September has resumed to replace about 3,200 linear feet of 6-inch-diameter water main with new 8-inch-diameter pipe. The project was put on hiatus over the winter due to weather constraints according to Public Works Director Ryan Herinckx.

The project will also install six new fire hydrants, replace about 70 water service connections and mid-block water main replacements on Southeast Mosher and Southeast Cass Avenues between Pine and Southeast Stephens Streets.

NorthCore USA of Albany is working weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to replace pipeinstalled between 1938 and 1962 – making the newest existing pipe more than 60 years old.

Herinckx said construction should be completed by early summer.

During working hours, one lane of Pine Street will be closed to traffic through the work zone.
