Scope and content
Cranes and earthmovers are busy a few days before Christmas of 1977 in the middle of this unidentified street believed to be 88th St. West in Parkland. It appears as though the men and equipment shown above are in the process of installing new sewer or water pipes. Excavation has begun and machinery poised to move the mounds of dirt. This is possibly part of the massive Lakewood-Parkland sewer system project that saw opponents go to court seeking court injunctions blocking the $72,000,000 construction job. November 1st was the start date for the Montana firm of Felton Construction; their contract was for $2.4 million and the firm was given nearly a year to complete the work. Completion of the entire sewer project was not expected until late 1980. Photograph ordered by Felton Construction Co., Missoula, MT. (TNT 10-10-77, A-4, 10-12-77, A-1- articles on sewer project)
