 |
| CONDITION OF FORCE MAIN SERIOUS — Excavation in Paterson revealed that the integrity of the shared force main was so bad that the pipe could be broken with a shovel. The repair project is being funded jointly by Woodland Park, Little Falls and Totowa. Continuous pumping at the project indicates that ground water is infiltrating upstream of the force main. |
