IRONWOOD - With winter approaching, Coleman Engineering and Overstar Construction have decided to call it a wrap on the Jessieville Water/Sewer projects. Phase one got off to a late start however, rain and poor weather conditions were blamed for the delays in the project. The delays are making many taxpayers unhappy as well as concerned as to how they with traverse the construction zone during the long cold winter looming ahead.

The informational meeting held in the City Council Chambers was called to alleviate the homeowners concerns and answer any questions that they had pertaining to the unfinished work in their neighborhood.
Mike Foley from Coleman Engineering answered as many questions as feasible and noted the remaining questions for investigation. Generally speaking, most concerns were already being addressed at the job site. While work will be shut down for the winter, work will continue until the roads are safe and homeowners can get in and out of their driveways. It appeared that most of those gathered for the meeting were fairly satisfied with what they were being told.

Unlike most City meetings, this one was fairly well attended. Just a week ago there was an informational meeting on the downtown improvement projects; the attendance was so poor it seemed as though the downtown merchants were boycotting that meeting!
