This week the construction crews
completed the final stages of mortar lining in the tunnel. Mortar lining is one
of the final stages of constructing a water tunnel before we bring it into
service.
Our workers used specialized
equipment that sprays cement on the pipe’s interior to prevent corrosion of the
steel pipe and prepare it for water conveyance. This completes a major
milestone for the tunnel. The tunnel is anticipated to be in service by the end
of this month and will soon deliver water to our 2.6 million customers. We are
definitely getting excited for the final stretch!
