Nighttime construction is coupled with water shutoffs on Ukiah’s Gobbi Street

UKIAH, CA., 5/17/25 — The water main installation project on Gobbi Street between Orchard Avenue and Main Street is finished. Now comes installation of water laterals and tie-ins. Expect short water outages, but residents and businesses will receive a 72-hour notice prior to a shutoff. Some work near Gobbi and Orchard will occur at night to reduce impacts to customers. Nighttime construction hours are 8 p.m.-6 a.m., with likely no more than two to three nights of work. Those dates have not yet been set. Fire hydrants also need to go in, and installs and testing of the system will continue for another two to three weeks.

After all the water tie-ins are complete, concrete crews will construct sidewalks and ADA ramps. That project will take about a week, and is likely to begin the first week of June. Flaggers will be on hand to assist residents and customers of area businesses. Fnal paving won’t begin until mid-summer.
