Work starting on First Street water main Tuesday

Staff and wire report

Havre Public Works Department announced that work to repair a water main on the 700 Block of First Street - U.S. Highway 2 as it passes through Havre - will start Tuesday, May 30.

The repairs, on the street north of Gary & Leo's Fresh Foods will include men and equipment in the area as well as redirected traffic, road closures, and possible delays.

A release from Public Works asked for people to plan their route accordingly and allow for extra time.

The release includes this map illustrating the detailed plan of the redirected traffic.

This traffic plan is expected to last for 14 days due to cure time needed.

"Thank you for your assistance and understanding while we get this major project underway and taken care of," the release said. "If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Public Works Department (in Havre City Hall at 520 Fourth Avenue, 406-265-4941)."
