Valley Rich construction workers arrived on South Campus Tuesday morning to locate and fix the water main leak that left residents without water Monday morning. They used sonic wave technologies to try and locate the leak, but due to its size and the presence of two water mains on South Campus were unable to pinpoint the leak’s location.
“The water is looking for the path of least resistance and this is where it was coming out of the ground,” said a worker. “We’re hoping that means the leak is right around here but we can’t be sure.”
With Wednesday’s snowfall approaching, the workers believe the job will be finished before then.
“We will be done today,” the worker said. “We never go home in the middle of a job and if that means we’re working till midnight, then we’re working till midnight.”
