Water was seen gushing out of a pipe below the Dodge Street standpipe on April 6 causing a wet roadway. According to city engineer Matt Oldenburg, the event was incidental to the west side water system improvements project. The standpipe was overflowing after the city turned the water back on yesterday because it was bypassing the new pressure station. The city shut off the bypass valve and the overfill at the standpipe stopped. Oldenburg noted that this typically occurs when a conduit is opened between high and low pressure zones. The height of the water in the Franklin Street tower is higher than that in the standpipe and when the conduit is opened, the pressure will try to equalize. This fills the standpipe as a result. The city is engaging its new pressure station at Franklin and Dodge Streets to maintain good pressure downtown without overfilling the standpipe.
