Late last week, construction crews and geotechnical engineers began repairs they drilled a series of relief wells to provide an alternate path for the groundwater that’s under pressure, and prevent that water from moving up through the original bore holes. These relief wells will also end the mobilization of fine sediments that are causing turbidity in the West Branch Delaware River. The relief wells will be cased, screened and filtered to ensure only clear water is pumped from them. On Wednesday, Engineers noted a reduction in the turbid flow from the rock embankment once the first well began pumping, a sign that it had successfully tapped into the pressurized groundwater. Updates are available to the public at the NYC Watershed facebook page.
