Subject: Completion of E. Washington Avenue Sanitary Sewer
Our completion of this project has been delayed because of high water along the river. Specifically, one of the sanitary sewers manholes to be connected south of Main Street is flooded by high water. This in-turn delays the connection to the main sewer structure in the pavement of east bound Washington, just west of the bridge.
We cannot wait for the high water to recede. Therefore, Engineering has prepared an alternate plan to defer the installation of some of the elements of the plan until the the Washington/Yahara Bridge is constructed and others to this fall. The alternate plan will need to be reviewed by the City's contractor, Speedway Construction.
We hope to finalize our procedures at the beginning of next week.
Larry Nelson, City Engineer
