Plans called for raising the Sewer Manhole cover

on Prince Street that was supposed to be in the new

roadway just west of the bridge (almost under the bridge).

It wasn't there. We spent two days with the town running

camera's up from the next manhole. It was very hard to

locate. We finally found it.

It had been buried years ago in about 10' of embankment.

And because it was further north than it was supposed to be,

we had broken part of the pipe right next to the manhole.

We were very lucky last summer when driving the steel

sheets to the temporary detour abutment. We came close

enough to break the pipe, but not plug it.

In the end, it cost us three days of work and instead of just

raising the lid, we had to build a new manhole from the

base up.
