Big Drainage Project

A big drainage project is going on, below the former exit driveway on the east side of the church. As part of the parish hall construction project, eight-inch PVC drainage pipe is being laid to carry away the storm water that has caused serious flooding in the past. How many parishioners (and especially Madison Day Care and Madison Co-Op Nursery School families) remember the "temporary" wooden dam that was erected in the exit door outside the Epiphany Chapel to keep the flood water out? The new flood control system includes huge concrete detention basins buried below the surface, and new pipes to carry the overflow to the Kings Road storm runoff system. The photograph above was taken on July 30 from the former exit driveway, looking toward the dumpsters, with the east end of Nieman Hall visible to the right.
