Centerville outlines Main Street water‑main work, 400 East road schedule and school crosswalk priorities
Summary
Councilmembers and staff briefed residents July 7 on upcoming Main Street water‑main replacement (starting immediately, projected through October), updates to the 400 East road project with priority work near Taylor Elementary crosswalk, and homeowner concerns about the South Davis Greenway; the State Auditor also notified the city that a recent inquiry found no statutory violation.
Centerville staff and councilmembers used the July 7 meeting to update residents on several infrastructure projects and outreach efforts affecting travel and school access this fall.
A resident asked whether the Main Street water‑main replacement discussed at the previous meeting would affect West‑side residents. Staff said construction is beginning in the next few days, that crews will perform saw cutting and set traffic control, and that intermittent water shutoffs and traffic impacts are possible while new connections are made. “They’re actively beginning right now... Projected to end about mid October, end of October in that vicinity,” a staff member said.
Council and staff also discussed the 400 East road project and plans to keep the Taylor Elementary crosswalk operable when school starts. Staff said the contractor and the city have marked the crosswalk area as a high priority during work and will schedule sidewalk, curb and gutter work so the crossing remains functional. “That crosswalk needs to be workable according to the state all the time,” a staff representative said.
Council members noted homeowner concerns about the South Davis Greenway outreach, including possible parking impacts and driveway access on Chase Lane and 400 West; council asked that affected homeowners be contacted directly and that concerns be forwarded to the appropriate council member and staff for follow‑up.
Mayor read a notice from the Utah State Auditor indicating an inquiry into an alleged complaint had been closed with no violation noted following the city’s response and cooperation.
What happens next
Staff will continue community outreach on the greenway design, manage traffic-control staging for Main Street water main work, and coordinate with the contractor to ensure high‑priority crossings (including the Taylor Elementary crosswalk) remain operational during construction.
