What a Project!

The Newburgh Engineering Department is overseeing construction of a new sewer system on the south edge of the City, where a major sewer main broke last week. We called out the cavalry, with guys working all day every day since then to dig a new, three-level pipe to replace the old one, extending downhill from Liberty Street and Bayview Terrace to the base of “The Bluff,” where it will continue to the treatment plant. Like so many other weird things that happen in Newburgh, this is going to turn out to be a good thing for all of us. THANK YOU to City Engineer Jason Morris and his whole team!

The steel shoring for the new sewage pipes is, itself, more than 20 feet deep. Eventually the 3-foot-diameter pipes will descend, in 3 stages, to the bottom of “The Bluff.”
