It's Monday, September 19th. This is the day that North 4th Springs is scheduled to shut down. At around 8 a.m., work on the needed repair commenced. Over by the source of the water is a dump truck, an end loader, and a truckload full of digging equipment. The spring is no longer active. The pools of water downstream from it are drying up on this sunny day. Where the spring once was, there's a big hole that was dug out by the end loader to enable the 6 man crew to get to the pipes and make repairs. Here's what the hole looked like at about 9:45.

A couple of the guys are stretching out the copper tube that will be needed. They'll be up and down the ladder a few times. Here's what the hole looks like with a couple of workers in it.

The folks from the city said they would be taking care of this today. And they did. Thanks to the City of DeKalb for getting the job done and to the workers for letting me get close enough to take these pictures.
