this should be interesting

I'm interested in the new tunnel they are going to start building in Fort Wayne. According to comments I heard on the news today once this new tunnel is completed it will improve the water quality in our rivers so much that we will be able to swim in them. That sounds good, not for me (I have always preferred pool swimming.) but I would like to think that the ducks and geese will have a cleaner space to swim in. This project will, they say, take seven years to complete. The tunnel will be 5 miles long and will consist of a 16 foot in diameter pipe, buried 200 feet (can that be right, sounds awfully deep) below street level to carry sewer water to the water filtration plant. They say the tunnle will run along the St. Joe and St. Mary's rivers which means that I should be able to see wome of the work while I'm out walking around the area. I really am excited to see how this unfolds and I'm also curious about wha will become of all the displaced dirt. Perhaps they'll build a ski slope in Fort Wayne.
