Two sections of concrete pipe one 175 feet and the other 50 feet will be put in along Brunswick Street between Culpeper and Slagle avenues in the city s Lakemont area near East Washington Street. A hydrodynamic separator will also be put in place to filter trash, sediment and hydrocarbons out of the water flowing through the drain that will prevent backwash from ponding across the street.
