hundred feet of sewer main has been installed. You can now see them
making connections from the buildings to the main line. This part of the
project is very deep and the engineers ran into a significant amount of
ledge. The City anticipates the next phase (water main) should proceed
more swiftly as this is a more superficial install. Please follow all signs, flaggers, and barricades. Due to unsafe vehicular behavior, access inbound to Plaza 800 had to be halted at Aldrich and a police detail installed.
