A 12 FOOT PIECE OF 6" ASBESTOS PIPE IS PULLED FROM THE GROUND..

IN ABOUT 1956, WHEN DOC LOACH COULD NOT FIND A WELL ON THE ISLAND, HE BUILT THE WATER PUMP STATION AND WATER TANK  AND LAID THIS 6" ASBESTOS  WATER PIPE TO SERVE THE FOUR ISLANDS. TWICE A DAY HE HAD WATER TRUCKED IN FROM NAPLES TO KEEP THE WATER TANK FULL AND THE WATER PUMPS MAINTAINED THE PRESSURE. 

THIS ORIGINAL WATER PIPE IS NOW BEING REMOVED AND A NEW 12" PVC WATER PIPE HAS REPLACED IT.

THIS ASBESTOS WATER PIPE IS COVERED IN PLASTIC..

AND PREPARED FOR PROPER, PERMANENT AND SAFE BURIAL..

THE REMAINING ASBESTOS PIPE THAT WILL NOT BE PULLED FROM THE GROUND, WILL BE PUMPED FULL OF GROUT AND MARKED ON A BLUE PRINT..
