This week, WCRC’s contractor focused on protecting the site from several rain events. The washout being repaired was caused by outdated stormwater collection systems, so the contractor reinforced the open excavations with additional ditching and other preventative measures. They also worked on removing abandoned utilities from the washout area.

Additionally, WCRC’s contractor began installing upgraded stormwater systems with work to continue into the week of April 7.
