Some Academy Award performance whining has been served up at the Board of Supes over the past few months on the topic of the sewer project's dewatering component. And I put it in those terms as those whining should have read the documents that legally allow such a practice, but it seems they have ignored them, perhaps in order to emote with a more sincere pitch in displaying their anger over yet one more component of the project, leaving no stone un-thrown (so far anyway). In any case, dewatering is winding down as not nearly as much water as was expected was found, and the pipe-laying part of the project is 75-80% complete. No awards will be handed out.
One of the dewatering outlets is through a marshy spot surrounded by trees in Sweet Springs East. Today Audubon volunteers (such as myself) were assisting in planting native willow cuttings in this mashy area, which despite the drought, are now guaranteed the needed extra water for that better chance of taking root! Go willows!
If you look closely, you will see little green flags that show where the willow cuttings were placed. Click on the pictures for a larger image and click the triangle on the video (with sound) to see dewatering in action!
