The dive team assessed the condition of the 12โ watermain that crosses under the canal near the bridge. BPW staff and Specialty Underwater Services (SUS) are working to develop a solution that can be implemented to best serve the Lewes community. In addition, the dive team assessed a second water main that crosses the canal that was repaired previously and remained offline to serve as a backup watermain. The dive team confirmed that the repairs are in good condition, and we are preparing to bring the main online. BPW staff collected a water sample from this second watermain which has been sent to the lab to be tested. Once the test results are received and meet the required standards, staff will work to bring the watermain online and increase the flow to the beach side of the City. This will result in increased water pressure.
