The onsite work has now really begun. This stage is an interconnection of manholes within the front yard, and down the entire sideyard to a third manhole. All of this adds a lot of unnecessary cost and waste given the amount of storage that is created (next to nil), yet complying with the drawing is essential so we must carry on.
This manhole shows the 12 inch line entering from the street. The 3 inch pipe is for sump water that is collected in the basement. I am still puzzled as to why this is allowed to enter the City system unimpeded after the flow restrictor which is in the manhole.
The second manhole is installed in the background. The pipe connecting the manholes crosses over the water and sewer lines that were installed earlier.
Tomorrow the project is due to be completed and we can fill it all back in and get ready to dig up the rest of the lot where the basement goes. This is going to be a challenge now that the formerly empty site is somewhat loaded with storm catchment equipment.
