Seemed to be pretty routine preparation for winter. LOTS of gross looking muck coming out of that sewer....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-17188526605786080412007-11-09T12:13:00.000-05:002007-11-09T12:13:00.000-05:00I live on Degraw Street and work for a civil engineering firm. I have worked with Allstate Power Vac before, and they primarily clean sewers and catch basins. This is most likely the case here - those giant trucks are cleaning the sewer, after which thye will probably send in a remote probe to inspect the structural integrity of the sewer. What instigated this cleaning and inspection? It could be that basins were backing up or that there was an unexplained settlement in the roadway prompting the City to dispatch these guys to see if there is a sewer collaps in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-88273273844627658382007-11-09T11:06:00.000-05:002007-11-09T11:06:00.000-05:00wow, that's never happened before in new york city!<BR/>thanks for the scintillating groundbreaking news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
