North Davis Meadows water tie-in July 8 & road seal July 21: Davis guide
Davis CA – North Davis Meadows will tie into the City’s water system around July 8, with shut-off door hangers 48 hours ahead. A road seal starts July 21.
North Davis Meadows residents are getting close to two big “plan-ahead” dates: a City of Davis water-system tie-in expected around Wednesday, July 8, followed by road pavement seal work expected to start Tuesday, July 21 and run about four days.
Yolo County says the water switch will also include water shut-offs during the transition, with door hangers delivered at least 48 hours before any shut-off for affected homes and streets.
Key dates to mark now
- Monday, June 29: the contractor is expected to remobilize for tie-in work.
- Wednesday, July 8 (expected): tie-in to the City of Davis water system.
- At least 48 hours before any shut-off: affected households are expected to receive door hangers with the specific timing.
- Tuesday, July 21 (expected): the first road pavement “seal” is expected to begin, with an estimated duration of about four days.
What the water shut-off and tie-in mean for residents
Yolo County’s update materials describe a transition day that includes shut-off activity, then flushing and testing after connections are made, with service restoration planned for later the same day.
After water service returns, the City of Davis recommends residents follow the posted guidance for flushing water entry points so the system can stabilize after the switch.
Door hangers are your “address-specific” timeline
The county’s guidance repeatedly emphasizes that residents will receive door hangers at least 48 hours before any shut-off. The practical takeaway: rely on the door hanger for your exact home and streets for timing details, not only the broader project dates.
Use AquaHawk to track how your usage changes
If you want a simple way to see how your household usage behaves during interruptions and restoration, the City of Davis points customers to AquaHawk, its customer water-use portal.
The City’s AquaHawk instructions explain how to register and where to view your usage information. For many residents, that can be useful during a transition like this—because you can watch for changes in day-to-day patterns once service is restored.
Billing timing: expect October 2026 for August use
Yolo County’s June 15 letter notes that Davis expects to begin billing North Davis Meadows residents in October 2026 for August 2026 use (with additional communication about billing sent separately). In other words, usage and billing dates won’t match right away.
Road impacts: what to expect around the July 21 seal work
Separate from the water-system switch, Yolo County says a road pavement preservation project is expected to restart for parts of North Davis Meadows streets, with seal work expected to begin July 21 and last about four days.
Because the County notes door hangers will be used to communicate activity in advance, residents should expect additional neighborhood notices before pavement treatment activities begin.
Backflow testing: the “why it matters” during system changes
When a neighborhood’s water operations change—like North Davis Meadows connecting to the City of Davis system—the City’s cross-connection control and backflow prevention program remains part of protecting drinking-water safety.
The City of Davis describes a program that includes ongoing cross-connection controls and required backflow testing as part of compliance. The practical point for residents: follow any backflow-related instructions or notices you receive, and don’t assume requirements pause because the tie-in day has passed.
Where to confirm the latest for your specific streets
Yolo County’s North Davis Meadows project update page is where the county posts ongoing progress notes. But for day-to-day timing—especially shut-off windows and when work is scheduled near your home—the door hanger remains the best source for your specific address.
