Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association Master Plan Update

The excavation work for the third and final stage of the sewer and

water upgrade will continue in all parts of the South Side of the

community. The installation of the street side grinder pumps will

continue on Lakeview Drive West. The Lateral crew will start

installing on the East side focusing their efforts on Grandview Drive,

Glenwood Lane, and Roamingwood Road. Installation of the new

sewer and water mains will continue on Lakeview Drive toward the

main gate. Expect delays in this area because traffic will be

restricted to one lane. A viable option would be to utilize the North

Gate by accessing Miller Road (refer to our website for the latest

map). Main line installation will then move to Parkwood Drive,

Cedarwood Terrace and Lakewood Drive. With the expected

warmer temperatures, the contractor is planning on patching the

roads in preparation for paving which will result in localized traffic

delays and detours.

With construction, please understand it is not unusual for plans to

change at a moment’s notice. We ask that the members of the

community be patient with us and respect the safety of the workers

in the construction zones. When working on the roads we do our

very best to utilize detours. Unfortunately detours are not always

available and the best route is around the lake. Please be aware of

this situation and always give yourself plenty of time to make your

appointments.

There are a few houses still in need of an initial inspection. If you

have not met with one of our inspectors to review the project

compliances and what your home requires, it is urgent that you

please call the Project Management Office to schedule an

appointment. Additionally, some houses that have been inspected,

have not had the control box installed, RS&W Project Management

Office has contacted every homeowner we have on record, if you are

a new homeowner and/or you are not certain if your home has been

fitted with a control panel, please call the Project Management

Office at (570) 698-6162 Option #2 to schedule an appointment for

your house.”
