Sewer repairs will take days, officials say
A sewer outage around 800 blocks of Isleta Boulevard Southwest on Thursday is still far from repaired, along with roads being excavated for it. Excavation work is still needed to reach the damaged pipes. “We expect it will take several days to repair and bring the road back to normal,” Morris said. “I’ve been told it’s a tough job.” Meanwhile, traffic in both directions keeps him reduced to one lane.
A sewer failure that occurred around 800 blocks on Isleta Boulevard Southwest on Thursday, along with a road being dug for it, has yet to be fixed.
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Authority spokesman David Morris said drilling work is still required to reach the damaged pipe.
“We anticipate it will take several days to repair and get the road back to normal,” Morris said. “I was told it was a tough job.”
Meanwhile, traffic continues to be reduced to one lane in both directions.
This story will be updated as soon as we know when the work will be completed.
