Things continue to progress with a great week of weather for construction. The dirt work crew continues to work on the digging of the ponds just south of the vacated condo area and are slightly over halfway done with the southern most pond.

Crews continue to have unique challenges with this pond due to the make up of the material, old dredge spoil from a previous dredging operations.
The main pipe crew continues to move north as well this week encountering a couple of old foundations that were in line with the pipe alignment as originally designed. We will have to move the pipe alignment slightly to the west to avoid the existing 15 foot deep foundations from the old Storm Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The change in location will require a small change order on the project for the addition of a structure where the pipe will change direction but shouldn't affect the overall design of the project or the benefits to the community.

Work will continue moving forward next week with a second pipe crew coming in to work further north in the project area on East 4th Street. See the next blog post for more information on that phase of the work and the related street closings.
