Phase 2 of stormwater replacement project in SW Jamestown almost complete

JAMESTOWN — The second phase of the 96-inch stormwater replacement project in southwest Jamestown is almost complete. Tyler Michel, public works director, said work was being done on the last service line on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to complete the second segment of the second phase for the project. He said the water in the Baymont by Wyndham parking lot drains into that pipe. A contractor was expected to arrive in Jamestown to pave 24th Street Southwest, Michel said. “They are looking at paving it next week, the way it sounds,” he said. The company that we're going through says it's a 50-year warranty, but they're seeing signs that it could last 200 years. The first phase of the 96-inch stormwater replacement project included repairing a 96-inch stormwater pipe near Applebee’s in 2023. Stormwater runoff and flooding resulted in the failure of the pipe located south of 25th Street Southwest and east of 8th Avenue Southwest. The sinkhole at the site was estimated to be 12 to 14 feet deep.
