Sewer Collapses Outside GCPA

566

A sewer line connecting a small portion of the Green Center for the Performing Arts to the sewer located beneath College Street collapsed on Monday evening, causing the close of College Street between Olive Street and Hanna Street for construction.
"There was never anything spilled in the GCPA at all," Jim Ruark, assistant director of Facilities Management said. "There was some odor but nothing real serious."
According to Ruark, construction began Tuesday morning and by Thursday afternoon workers were running a new sewer line out to the street.
"We had to dig it up and replace it," Ruark said. "This is a tough repair because there are a lot of other lines that run we don't want to cut."
Ruark said construction is expected to conclude Monday night.
"It should all be put back together."
