You have a hance to see a unique operation this weekend. (Translation: I did survey work on a lot of sewer work back in my youth but I never saw this done.) Starting Thursday (16 August) through Monday (20 August), the contractor is going to do a "pump around" to replace one sanitary sewer line with another while continuously maintaining sewer service to the north end of campus.
They will lay pipe across the parking lot from an upstream manhole near the maintenance building to a downstream one near the student union. They will temporarily block the pipe, pump the sewage across the parking lot, cut the existing pipe, permanently block the abandoned part, test the line, then restore the flow.
My guess is that construction will take place Thursday and Friday with the "pump around" taking place early Saturday when sewage flow will be less than on a work day, but they could do it at any time.
Elsewhere, the foundations for the new bridge to the new parking lot are being poured. It will be a close call if that is cured and ready for the bridge before classes start in a week!
