Work has begun on burying a new water line beneath the Embarras River bed on the city's north side.

The line is one of two major water mains which bring water from wells on the Allison Prairie to the city of Lawrenceville, which in turn supplies water to other areas of the county. Although one line is buried, one line lies on top of the river bed. Keiffer Brothers of Mount Carmel, the firm contracted to do the work burying the exposed line, began Monday cutting through the river bottom with a large saw. Knox safety forces are part way across the river. They'll work on it until its complete." Harper said the entire project is expected to take no longer than two to three weeks.

The $91,099.20 project will be partially paid by Community Development Assistance Program funding, with the city also kicking in a share. The main benefit of the project, Harper said, is that when finished the city will have two buried lines instead of one buried and one exposed. "If one of the lines would be taken out, we could lose all our pressure and we wouldn't be able to supply water to the rest of the county," he said. "It's been a dangerous situation having the line on top of the river bed instead of buried. It became a particularly dangerous situation during the logjam.

Burying the line will eliminate that risk." "They're cutting the bottom of the river now," Lawrenceville Mayor Gerald Harper said. "They've got a trackhoe down there digging out the trench after they cut it with a big saw. The bottom is shale. It's very tough, so they have to use the saw to cut through the shale bottom before they can dig. They have to go four feet (deep).

After that they'll lay the line and connect the new with the old." Work started about 7:30 a.m. on Monday, and continues daily through about 4:30 p.m. Harper said work is on schedule, although the project is constantly facing an undetermined deadline set by Mother Nature. "It's just a matter of doing the work when the river is down," he said. "And it's just about the lowest it's been in a long while.

It should stay down until heavy rains come again. "I don't know how much longer it's going to take," he added.
