Something new in my neighborhood

On February 28, 2014 I blogged about Speech topics from near your neighborhood.

Hayden Homes is working on a housing development with the Basque name of Baserri south of Lake Hazel Road and west of Cole Road. There were trenches dug for underground installation of water supply and sewer piping. Early this week I saw the water company flushing a main via a hydrant, as shown above. That ‘rooster tail’ is twenty or thirty feet high. Flushing removes sediment located at the bottom of pipes.

I have previously seen a gigantic “rooster tail” at the Lucky Peak Dam north of Boise, as shown in an April 16, 2017 IdahoNews article titled ‘Rooster tail’ display to happen next weekend at Lucky Peak.
