Title: In Case You Have Been Wondering What's Going On At St. Luke's
Post by: Henry on August 31, 2016, 05:45:00 AM

Matt Gillilan and assistant have been working feverishly trying to find the drain exit leading from St. Luke's Church past the new Rectory.  I spoke to him yesterday a little before noon, they had not yet found where the water was crossing the road.  It is my understanding that the drainage pipe is plugged.  He was at the spot where the underground electrical was headed towards the rectory.  Hopefully he has better luck today. 

Brings to mind how important it is to have a survey include this drainage in these plans.  The church was built in 1964 and I think at that time the drainage went towards route 104.  The waste treatment plant was built after that.  The new Rectory was built in 1995 and I suspect must be hooked into the town Sewerage system and the drainage around the building they understand is connected into the same drainage as the church.  Wishing Matt good luck as he tries to do this as reasonable as possible:

Matt Gillilan found the drainage pipe.  Fr Henry told me that there were two pipes, one above the other & Matt could hear water running, so he dug. Little deeper & there it was.  They will be connecting the drainage pipe from the North side of the church & also drain the little pond we have had for a number of years.  Matt was out there working until about 9 pm last night in the rain.  Nice job Matt.
