“We don’t know how close the rest of pipe is to the surface at this time,” says Ed Stanks, Manager of Engineering. “We are in the process of investigating that. The City is requesting that boaters exercise caution and stay away from the area until works are complete. Boaters should especially watch out between the shore and where the pipe is floating at the surface and go well around the pipe.”
Stanks says a diving company has been hired to inspect the pipe.
