Third Street Reopens Following Water Main CollapseThird Street Reopens Following Water Main Collapse

7/24/13 - The City of Brighton has reopened Third Street, which collapsed earlier this month due to a water main break. A small section of the sewer pipe on South Third Street near the intersection of Third and Washington collapsed July 14th. Excessive groundwater and runoff in the break had delayed the repairs, but City Manager Dana Foster says the crews were able to clear the water out faster than anticipated. The repairs were completed and the street reopened on Monday afternoon. A small section of the street remains barricaded because it has been backfilled and needs to be compacted and patched. Foster thanked residents and nearby businesses for putting up with the construction and resulting detour. (TD)
