Rock Island waterworks joint repair described at length
A detailed report describes repairing a defective joint on the intake pipe of the Rock Island waterworks near the Sylvan water bridge. Diver operations use a pneumatic hammer to reseal hot lead caulking despite cavity and channel defects. Plans include pumping away filler to allow caulking below the pipe and lifting sections via hoisting equipment on the barge. Superintendent Bancroft oversees the diver and well lining progress while an iron screen is added to the inner well to block fish passage into the pumped reservoir on the hill.
