6th Avenue and Chestnut Street - Stormwater Project

The stone arch in the middle of Chestnut Street east of 6th Avenue has several large areas of missing stones and mortar. The City received notice from an adjacent homeowner on June 16, 2023, that the previous stormwater arch had collapsed. This caused a large sized sinkhole behind the south inlet structure. As a result, the City closed a portion of Chestnut Street beginning in 2023.  In 2023, the City contracted with Wilson and Company to design repairs at this location. The project consists of replacing the failing arch and curb inlets. The new line is located in the middle of Chestnut Street.

This project is funded with the City's stormwater fee.
