Day 108 - Day 115

Good Day. I was gone for a long weekend so I need to do some catching up. Here is a day - day summary of the last week:

Wed 7/21: Two pipe crews got alot of work done on both Magdeline. The majority of the water main was installed.

Thur 7/22 & Fri 7/23: Welcome back rain!! On Thursday we had a construction meeting but for themost part, heavy rains made any construction impossible.

The original schedule had completion date in Mid-September. We have granted some extension to that plan due to weather considerations, but we have askd A-1 for a more consistent presence. I think a reasonable completion date would be early October. Also in our construction meeting, we decided that Farwell would be pulverized some time in the next week, anticipating crews being ready to install water main on Farwell fairly soon.

Mon 7/26: One of the pipe crews was working on some storm sewer and unfortunately, the other pipe crew had to chase a leak in a newer valve.

Tues 7/27: Storm sewer work continued on New Castle. The other pipe crew was able to start water main on Summit. They completed a significant portion of Summit from Butternut up towards Farwell. As they were a couple sticks away from Farwell, the hit a deep layer of hard rock. This rock always slows a crew down, but they dug hard and were able to get one more stick in. They should be able to complete summit today. Once complete, they will pressure test, then start the cooking process for the new pipes. Services will then begin.

In the Lower Bluff, landscaping crews made significant progress yesterday. Regarding landscaping, we are seeing fairly rapid grass growth with the hydraseeding process they are using.

Wed 7/28: Work today continues on water main on Summit and the storm sewers. If a crew breaks free, you will likely see some services getting completed as well.

As soon as we get a date specific for Farwell to get pulverized, we will let you know. But, plan that it would be yet this week until we hear different.
