Butler City Council has granted special exemption to the city noise ordinance to crews that will be working on the Sullivan Run Flood Control Project.
Contractors will be exempted from the ordinance from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the project is completed sometime next year. Current ordinance permits construction noise and activities beginning at 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. but little is expected to take place between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m.
Trailers and equipment are currently being mobilized with work expected to start on the Negley Avenue culverts this fall followed by the Brady and Penn Street culverts in the spring.
The majority of work is expected to take place near Miller Avenue and Penn Street as well as Sullivan Run and Brady Street.
