Blasting continues this week and next

Posted on: September 9, 2025 - 6:01pm

Blasting has been delayed at the Central Street Pump Station Project and may continue this week (Week Ending 9/13) and possibly into next week (Week Ending 9/20). 

Parking at River Falls will still be restricted during this time frame, with the spaces closest to the pump station being blocked from use.  

The site continues to be well marked with highly visible signs that detail the whistle warning sequence that will be sound prior to commencement of each blast. All blasting operations will be conducted during daylight hours and no explosives will be stored at the construction site overnight.  The horn sequence is as follows: 

  • 3 Long Horns - 5 minutes before the blast
  • 2 Long Horns - 2 minutes before the blast
  • 1 Long Horn - all clear to proceed

There may be low levels of ground vibration in the area of Central Street during the initiation of the blast. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the Town Administrator's Office - 603-744-3354 Option #3.
