Excavation permits to be suspended

POST FALLS - Post Falls will suspend issuance of construction permits for excavation in the city streets effective Nov. 16.

No excavation within street-traveled rights of way will be permitted. Emergency excavation will be the only exception and asphalt will be patched back immediately.

The action is due to the winter weather that closes down the asphalt plants. The winter shutdown will not affect excavation outside the paved areas.

Contractors should plan their activities accordingly.
