Turlock’s Geer Road Water Valve Work: City Listed October 2 as Its Target Finish

TURLOCK, Stanislaus County — October 23, 2026. The City of Turlock has published information relevant to residents and local businesses. California58 reviewed the city’s materials and distinguishes event schedules and proposed work from confirmed final outcomes.

Where is the project?

Turlock’s capital projects register identifies City Project 25-063, a replacement of existing gate valves of several sizes on Geer Road between Wayside Drive and Hedstrom Road. The plan calls for removing or replacing water-control hardware and related installation work. The project is a utility maintenance task, not a complete replacement of every water pipe in Turlock.

What was the published construction schedule?

The city posted an expected start of August 17, 2026 and estimated completion around October 2, with R&R Paving Inc. named as contractor. October 2 has already passed. Without a dated final acceptance or recent completion notice, the estimated date should not be reported as proof all work is finished.

What did the city say about access?

Its construction description warns of temporary lane tapers and work that may affect access in the broader utility works area, while indicating efforts to preserve resident and service vehicle access. Travelers should obey actual construction signage, and customers should verify any water shutoff with the utility before storing water or cancelling travel.

How to check current status

Ask Turlock Public Works or the capital-project contact for the actual completion notice, any remaining surface restoration and whether valves have passed acceptance testing. The city’s project register and eProcurement documents can help distinguish a contract date from completed field work.
