Work on the project commenced <br /> shortly afterwards and is now substantially completed. <br /> The utilities portion of the work included the construction of water and sewer lines to connect the <br /> construction site to existing water and sewer infrastructure owned and operated by the Town of <br /> Hillsborough. Specifically, the scope of work called for the installation of approximately 1,650 <br /> feet of 12-inch water main, 20 feet of 6-inch water main, fire hydrants, valves and associated <br /> appurtenances extending along US Highway 70 West from Holiday Park Road.
