Friday the crew completed Sanitary Man Hole (SMH) 6 and will be backfilling today. SMH has been excavated and they will be replacing it today and then do the open cut to replace the pipe between the two.
They also have another crew there today and they will be working on SMH 1, which is at the north side of Crawford at the intersection with Tahoe. They turned off the bypass from the manhole on south side of Rio Grande at Village to SMH 4 which is in the driveway of the residence on the NE corner of Rio Grande and Wall St. There is a good improvement in flow already.
