St. Mary's Street remains under construction, blocking access to many of its businesses.
San Antonio Water System officials said the chief contractor on the long-delayed upgrades to the St. Mary's Strip should have foreseen sewer issues that have added months to the project,SAWS CEO Robert Puente told the news site that general contractor SpawGlass had access to documents showing that a deep sewer line under the street would make the project more difficult. That flies in the face of city officials' claims that work crews encountered unforeseen snags, according to Axios.
"In this case, the condition of the soil around the sewer line was unknown until the work began," Hosseini said. However, SAWS exec Beymer told Axios that information on the depth of the sewer line and its condition were detailed in documents provided to SpawGlass and other contractors. SAWS reportedly provided the bid documents to the news outlet.
