However, I do not like stopping right at Sta 10+89 (Hole number 6) as we are <br /> still shy of the required 8.5 feet of cover. I would suggest splitting the difference between these <br /> two stations (about Sta 11+09). <br /> Whatever happened to insulating around the water valve (about Sta 12+50 to Sta 12+60) at <br /> Isabelle Drive and Paul Circle? The City's measurement for the valve on the Isabelle side was <br /> 6.5 feet — I don't believe there is 2 feet from the nut down to the top of the pipe. <br /> If the construction can be held to the south side only (a saw cut down the center of the road), I <br /> am fine with that. If we go across the centerline (in either direction), I believe we need to go all <br /> the way to the edge of the concrete gutter so we don't have a sawcut/future joint in wheel <br /> paths. <br /> As the 1-year correction period starts over again on this repair work, I would strongly <br /> encourage making sure to get all of the sub-standard depth watermain addressed. <br /> Please contact Mike Loven at the City a couple of days in advance of when work will be taking <br /> place. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Times <br /> Timothy M.
