“Over the last number of months, we actually had to fill in the existing pipe with concrete so that they could stabilize the bridge and the houses in the area to make sure there’s no risk,” said Kurtis Doney, deputy city manager of City Operations. “Now we’re diverting the stormwater through the pumping station. As we figure out the long-term plan and do that design have a long-term solution in place.
