Second Avenue water project advances

A fast-moving—and intricate—project to repair battered water mains along Second Avenue should be completed by early May.

On Wednesday, crews from Kautza Excavating, working from Langlade Road, bore a line under Spring Brook to connect with water lines on the west side of the creek.

“It was deep,” Charlie Brinkmeier, the city’s project manager, said. “We went about seven feet under the creek, and that’s 10 or 15 feet below the road bed.”
