7/18/13 - A sewer repair project in Brighton has been delayed. A small section of the sewer pipe on South Third Street near the intersection of Third and Washington collapsed Sunday afternoon, prompting a repair effort that officials had hoped to complete this week. However, due to too much groundwater, crews have been unable to access the damaged line section to make the physical repair and replacement. A specialized dewatering operation is expected to take place either today or tomorrow with plans to begin the repair work this weekend. Depending on the weather, officials hope to complete the repair by next Tuesday the 23rd or Wednesday the 24th. Meanwhile, the existing traffic detour route on South Third Street utilizing Washington, Second and Franklin streets will remain in place until completion of the repair. Brightonâs DPS have maintained a temporary above-ground bypass sewer line in order to maintain proper sewage flow while the repair is ongoing.
