Lago vista roadway plan

Fire flow tests were performed to determine the availability of water and also the coefficients which would be used in the computer modeling process.

Records were gathered from the water treatment plants and utility billing records to develop water use patterns over an entire year. Once the computer model was built and calibrated to mimic existing conditions, many different scenarios were modeled to determine projects the City should fund to stay in compliance with State and Federal regulations today and 25 years into the future.

Careful cost estimates were created for the Capital Improvement Projects and provided in the report along with an inventory of the existing system. Lastly, and most importantly, the City of Lago Vista now has a working computer model that can be used in a variety of ways to plan and keep the water system functioning and providing a critical resource to the citizens of Lago Vista.

Every project is treated with care and attention. We would love to partner with you and your community. Below there is also a list of streets that will have some drainage work done by August.

More streets will have similar work done in September; City will issue a new similar notice. Click this link for access to the design drawings. Striping process will continue well into next week. The City asks drivers to avoid crossing the stripe if the striping machine is still in view.

The material dries up in minutes, but if someone is behind the striping machine they may track paint on the pavement. If you have any questions please email public works at publicworks lago-vista.

Just over three months have passed, and cities are still working to repair critical infrastructure that was damaged in the freeze. Locally, Lohman Ford Road suffered damage due to a normal process called a freeze-thaw cycle. This cycle is something northern states struggle with on a constant basis. For those of us living in warm Central Texas, this type of damage may seem shocking. The project, which had been planned prior to the storm, needed to go out for new bids because the expected scope of the work increased due to the storm damage.

The contract with Bennet Paving was executed and they will begin work on the evening of June 6, Most of the project work will be performed at night between 8 p. Lane closures between the hours of 7 p. Public Works crews are doing prep work prior to the upcoming paving of road. This work includes things such as filling large holes and cutting out slivers of intersecting roadways for a smoother tie-in. City of Lago Vista Public Works crews are currently preparing Lohman Ford Road for paving - cutting out slivers of intersecting roadways for a smoother tie-in.

After paving is complete, temporary lane markers will be put in place while the road is being striped. Paving work depends on rain-free days. Weather permitting, all work is expected to be completed by July 4, What is a free-thaw cycle? A freeze-thaw cycle is when temperatures fluctuate from above freezing 32F , to below freezing, and then back to above freezing. When temperatures are above freezing, rainwater or snow melt will make its way into any small crack in the pavement. Water underneath the pavement is meant to drain away, but during winter it freezes in the base and subgrade materials.

So, when temperatures drop below freezing, the water within the cracked pavement begins to freeze and expand, causing the crack to expand and grow as well. When warmer weather comes, the ice begins to melt, weakening the base layer and leaving voids where larger cracks were formed.
