The Drain Plug


This ancient structure, which can be found along the berm on the back side of the lake, is essentially the drain plug for Pine Lake.

On Thursday two of the city's workmen were working to break this big iron pipe with a sledgehammer.


They were able to take out one side of it below the water level. When I walked by on Friday I could hear water draining.

The workmen told me that when the dredging project gets the green light the city will bring in a pump to empty the lake in a hurry.

I had some great shots of the men at work, but the photos got eaten. Sigh.
