Day 17; Wed 4/21

On Wednesday, crews worked in the areas predicted. Storm sewer crew on Fisk was able to make connections to the new storm line by adding inlets and pipe extensions where needed.
The water main crew had a challenging exercise navigating through the Kensington intersection with Cambridge and Woodland Circle. Part of what makes this intersection difficult to navigate is the amount of services that are within the intersection. Multiple combinations of existing water main, storm line and sanitary sewer, and each of them merging with connections or coming in from different directions, makes it difficult to install new services like a water main. We also need to save room for that large storm pipe to come through this intersection yet!! In short, we are using virtually all of the underground capacity of the roadway. Remember, the old "stuff" like water mains, will be abandoned in place. Many years from now (like 75+) when these projects have to be done again, they will need to really clean house underground!!
On Thursday, look for water main to continue into the 200 block and possibly storm sewer in the 300 block of Kensington.
