DRIVERS HEADING NORTH OUT OF PRESCOTT TODAY FOUND SOME UNEXPECTED LANE RESTRICTIONS ON STATE ROUTE 89.

A LEAK IN THE PIPE THAT TRANSPORTS EFFLUENT WATER FROM THE SUNDOG WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TO THE GOLF COURSES AND THE AIRPORT PERCOLATION PONDS WAS DISCOVERED BY THE CITY OF PRESCOTT PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

AS THIS MAIN LINE RUNS PARALLEL AND WITHIN NORTH-BOUND STATE HIGHWAY 89, CREWS HAD TO CHANGE TRAFFIC PATTERNS UTILIZING TRAFFIC BARRICADES FROM THE WATSON LAKE ROUNDABOUT TO APPROXIMATELY LILLIAN LANE.

OFFICIALS ARE ASKING THE PUBLIC TO PLEASE AVOID THE AREA IF POSSIBLE AND BE ATTENTIVE, CAUTIOUS, AND PATIENT IF YOU USE THIS ROUTE. 

THE PUBLIC WORKS CREW IS WORKING DILIGENTLY TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND FULLY OPEN THE ROADWAY FOR TRAFFIC AS SOON AS SAFELY POSSIBLE.
