DAMAGED WATER/SEWER PIPES
Replacement of the water and sewer mains under Rock Creek at the US 98 bridge has started; the replacement became necessary when it was discovered sections of the buried pipes had become exposed by erosion in the creek bed area; the water line was shut down last Spring after discovering it was leaking.
The new sewer pipe has already been installed under the creek -- and the drilling for the new water pipe was to begin this week, according to W/S department manager Morefield.
Contractor is low-bidder Underground, Inc. for $534K.
(Another leaking water main was replaced last year --- under nearby Fly Creek.)
