The project will include a roundabout at Flay Avenue, converting the rural section of the roadway to an urban section roadway with concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, and the construction of a bituminous trail along the entire length of the project. Construction is anticipated to start in June and will be completed in two phases to lessen impacts on the traveling public. Please check the City of Hugo’s website for future updates on this project. Please allow extra time and reduce your speeds when traveling through the construction area. Chip Seal Program The City’s chip seal program has been discontinued because of the inadequate performance of the product, as well as complaints generated from residents. Funds that were used towards this program have been re-allocated into the street maintenance CIP fund. City of Hugo Water Tower As the community continues to grow, the City of Hugo has identi- fied the need for additional water supply and storage as is required for everyday use and fire protection. The City acquired property located south of 125th Street, near the Oneka Ridge Golf Course, for the construction of a well and the new 1,500,000 gallon water tower, which will also improve water pressures in the southern portion of Hugo. Work on the tower will begin in the coming months and will be completed and operational in 2020. Stormwater The City maintains many stormwater ponds, control structures, ditches, and wetlands. We ask residents to help us keep these features in good condition with one simple lawn care tip: Do not blow grass clippings into the roadways or stormwater ponds. These clippings decompose and turn into nutrients which cause algae blooms in the ponds. If you live on a stormwater feature and you notice a structure is plugged please call the City so maintenance crews can remove the obstruction.
