APPROACHING THE FIRST CURVE

THE MAIN BLVD WILL BE 1 LANE FROM ANTIGUA ST.

TO CRISTOBAL ST. FOR THE DAY TOMORROW.

(JUNE 9TH )

FLAGMEN WILL BE CONTROLLING TRAFFIC.

THIS IS TO ALLOW THE CREW TO LAY

THE NEW MAIN 12" WATER PIPE ACROSS TO THE

OTHER SIDE.  THE NEW WATER PIPE WILL STAY ON THAT SIDE OF THE ROAD THE REST OF THE WAY.

TODAY THE NEW WATER PIPE WAS RUN TO THE

CROSSING AREA.

            THE TELEPHONE CO. DUG UP THE EXISTING LINE IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE NEW WATER PIPE TO COME THROUGH.   APPARENTLY, ALL NEW TELEPHONE LINES ARE TO BE INSTALLED

 FOLLOWING THE NEW WATER PIPE INSTALLATION.

MORE ON THIS LATER.

A NEW FIRE HYDRANT IS INSTALLED AT THE FIRST

CURVE.

WHEN THE PIPES ARE CONNECTED TOGETHER AT A TURN OR OTHER SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS,  A METAL COUPLING SLEEVE IS INSTALLED. THIS CONSIST OF A METAL COLLAR ON EACH SIDE OF THE PVC COUPLING, WHICH HAS 4 RODS THAT WHEN BOLTED TOGETHER HELPS KEEP THE PIPES FROM SLIPPING APART..

A SMALL AMOUNT OF TRASH HAS BEEN DUG UP,

THE TRASH IS PILED AND CARRIED OFF.

WHEN THIS TIRE WAS DUG UP, SOMEONE SAID,

" KEEP DIGGING, THERE MUST BE AN OLD TRUCK

THERE SOMEWHERE !"

THE BYPASS ROAD WAS CREATED AND THE 24" METAL SLEEVE THAT WILL HAVE THE 12" NEW WATER PIPE INSIDE IT WAS GROUND DOWN AND  WELDED TOGETHER.
