Thanks to Pam Luhn for speaking to the crew working at the intersection of Windsor and Poston today for this update:
- The original pipes are terra cotta
- They are 20 ft or so deep
- The pipes are 10 feet in length each
- Several joists dropped
- 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
- They dug up road, hopefully cleaned out pipes and covered them in some kind of pvc
- Filled road hole with granite and other stuff
- 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
- The area is scheduled for paving on Monday August 30th
