Waiting for water
The water to the building was shut down for about 4 hours Monday, May 18 while the line for the new water supply was connected to the underground water main. The line is now complete up to just inside the building and awaits the fire marshal and county plumbing inspector approvals. We have also laid part of the new larger sanitary line and hope to finish that effort sometime next week. As soon as we receive permission from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to make the asphalt cut to the manhole in Backlick Road, we will be hooking up the new sewage line to the county main under Backlick Road.
The electricians are busy wiring up the first floor of the B-Wing to accommodate the new room layouts and to bring in 1,200 new amps of 3-Phase High Voltage power into the building. This new power is required for the increased loads of more heating and AC, more house lighting and anticipated theater lighting increases in the Atrium and Worship Center. Our progress update includes final removal of old walls and doorways that will not be used in the redesigned “B” Wing.
