I Have Been Down The Hole


Here is a good article from The Lane Report about the Louisville Water Company's Riverbank Filtration Project. It outlines in very understandable terms, the advantages of this type of system. Earlier this year, I was fortunate to be able to tour the project. We were lowered down a 150 foot shaft (that's about 15 stories for those of you bad with math) in a "cage" at the end of a crane. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Once I got down there, we were able to go part of the way back the 1.5 mile tunnel that ran out towards the river. Pretty cool!
