Residents flag rough surface on Edgar Road after water-main work; staff to ask water company for schedule
Summary
Council members raised persistent potholes and steel plates on Edgar Road after a water-main repair; staff said the water company (MSD) is responsible for final paving and will be asked for an anticipated timeline.
Several officials raised concerns about the condition of Edgar Road near the university after a water-main break and subsequent repair work. Officials described remaining steel plates, patched concrete and large potholes that make the right lane rough and force drivers to change lane position.
Meeting participants said the break occurred in mid-April and that the excavation and replacement of the water main left sections of road that were later plated or partially patched. They noted that final repaving typically falls to the water company that performed the repair rather than the city.
One official asked whether the city or MSD (Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District) had further work scheduled. A staff member offered to contact the director of public works and ask the city’s water-company contact for a tentative time frame and promised to report back to the council.
No vote or formal directive beyond that follow-up request was made at the meeting.
