Then on Monday, August 18, 2025, public works provided this schedule and information regarding the drainage work:

• Starting Monday, August 18, 2025, repairs to the storm drain will begin in Eproson Park. Repairs will require a 24-hour cure time per segment; access will not be permitted in the construction zone.
