Pipe Repair Update

Thanks to Pam Luhn for speaking to the crew working at the intersection of Windsor and Poston today for this update:

1. The original pipes are terra cotta
2. They are 20 ft or so deep
3. The pipes are 10 feet in length each
4. Several joists dropped
5. The pipes were filling with dirt so water couldn’t filter through hence the water backed up and eroded the dirt holding up the road
6. They dug up road, hopefully cleaned out pipes and covered them in some kind of pvc
7. Filled road hole with granite and other stuff
8. Some thoughts were over the years heavier traffic came through, trucks, etc, that put pressure on whatever was under the road hence weakening the joists
9. The area is scheduled for paving on Monday August 30th
