Well, lets see, it's Monday and time for some water. Except, for our construction project today, it was not a water problem from rain. Instead, before the first new section of water main was layed on Kensington Dr., a valve gave way on the existing main which in essence, opened a water main into the excavated hole for the new pipe to be placed. It did not take long for water pouring in from a 6" main at 90psi to fill the excavated hole and the surrounding area with water.
For those residents in the 400 block of Kensington, it is awfully wet down in your block right now and may not be passable yet today. Also, for some residents on Kensington and Woodland Circle, you may find yourself without water for a period of time yet this afternoon.
The good news is that the problem was repaired and the crews were able to continue with their installation. As I left the site within the past twenty minutes (now 3:20pm), the first section of new water main was about to be placed. I believe water will be turned on within the next hour or two.
CAUTION: for those who are driving northbound on Lakewood near the Beach. MG&E arrived in Village today to move a gas line that is in conflict with the location of our new storm sewer. On Lakewood just past Fisk Place, MG&E still has alot of equipment and their project appears not to be completed. There is a fence surrounding an excavated hole where they were working. Please be wary of this area. There is enough room for you to get past this work site and stay in your lane. Just drive cautiously. By the way, MG&E's excavated hole is full of water as well; I think there's is groundwater.
