LEVELOGGERS

• We continue to upload dataloggers at the following locations on a weekly basis:
  • 1 on Saint Charles St. and 2 on Cazenove St.
  • 5 along the Storrow Drive Underpass from Embankment Rd. Clarendon St.
  • 4 loggers have been placed in wells in Back Bay closest to the alleys that BWSC are replacing lines and installing recharge systems
• Additional loggers have been placed in the Fenway, South End, and Back Bay.

CONTOURS

• We continue to generate contours for all areas of our well network. Elliott and I have reviewed them with our technical committee.
• We will continue to receive the contours from BWSC and will be sending them our contours for comparison.

ISD RESEARCH

• We continue to look for building permits and any underpinned buildings.
• I continue working on the South End.

RECHARGE

• I’m wrapping up introduction for our new Recharge tab on the site. I’ve reviewed and revised it with Elliott.
