City administrator Tina Rose watches as public works employees work in a trench dug at the intersection of Scott and Holbrook streets in Mount Vernon on Thursday, November 12.
The workers were attempting to tie in a new sewer connection, but encountered old, crumbling clay pipes deep below the street surface. They replaced a section of the pipe before making the new connection.
