The winter's deep freeze hid the damage done to a huge pipe along Highway 50.
"Normally, our maintenance crews get in there and service the area, usually mid-April," said Jon Money, engineering manager for the El Dorado Irrigation District."This year, the snow just prohibited them from getting in there until almost the middle of June."The pipeline takes discharge from Echo Lake for consumptive use and hydroelectric production.
"They'll basically put two pads in to access the pipeline alignment and then they'll go through and start pulling out the old pipe, start putting in the new pipe," Money said.
