March 26, 2003 — The Water and Power Authority has scheduled work on Wednesday night in the J. Antonio Jarvis School Annex and Polyberg areas that will entail closing the Polyberg Hill road, and work Thursday in the Altona and Estate Thomas areas that will involve the interruption of water service.
WAPA crews will be repairing a leak on a service connection near the school annex, also known as Jefferson School, and paving the top of Polyberg Hill between 8 p.m. and midnight Wednesday. During that time, a WAPA release stated, the Polyberg road will be closed between the Seventh-day Adventist Street intersection and the entrance to Polyberg Homes. However, access will be made available to area residents, it said.
Thursday will bring interruption of potable water service in the Altona area in the morning and the Estate Thomas area in the afternoon so that crews can perform maintenance work on a pump station pressure-control valve.
Water distribution in the Altona area above the pump station will be interrupted from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, WAPA said.
Water service to Estate Thomas, including behind the Wheatley II Shopping Center and the upper portions of the area, will be interrupted from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
