While the ongoing work is sorely interfering with day-to-day life in the Mattersdorf neighborhood of Yerushalayim, the Gichon Water Authority has began work to replace the area’s water main, a project that will take three months.

At present, traffic is moving along, albeit with delays, and there will be period during the renewal project during which only one lane will operate for traffic, which will lead to serious delays and snarls.

Gichon officials report the water main project is taking place on Mattersdorf and Zayit Ra’anan Street in the capital. Anyone needing to report a problem may do so by telephoning 1-800-800-093 or *2070.
