Site work for a water / sewer project in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

PROJECT 1 is for 200 lead service line replacements by qualified City of Milwaukee licensed and bonded contractors. Qualified bidders must have the necessary equipment and experience to replace lead service lines using trenchless methods, including but not limited to pulling, hole hogging, boring, and directional drilling. Service line replacements will occur at scattered locations throughout the City of Milwaukee. Each location will require either full replacement of the water service line from the municipal water main up to the interior water meter setting, or partial replacement of the remaining lead portion if a segment was previously replaced. If the existing water meter setting is not code compliant, a new meter setting is included in the work. Work may include, but is not limited to, obtaining all necessary permits, conducting a site visit, scheduling installation with the property owner, procuring and distributing water filter pitchers, traffic and erosion control, saw-cutting, excavation, installing a new copper service line using trenchless technology, tapping the water main, abandoning the lead service line, installing an updated water meter setting, reconnecting the interior building piping, ensuring code-compliant restoration of the electrical ground wire, backfilling, restoration of pavement, curb, gutter, and walk, and final site cleanup. Restoration requirements are at the discretion of Milwaukee Water Works. All work must comply with City of Milwaukee regulations and specifications for water service and lead service line replacement. Contractors must begin work on March 30, 2026, and complete a minimum of two lead service line replacements per working day, achieving substantial completion by September 11, 2026, and final completion, including site restoration, by September 18, 2026. Standard hours are defined in the contract documents, and prior approval is required for work beyond standard hours.
