Crisis Averted
After a severe earthquake, a section of 48 in. diameter sewer pipeline located beneath a lake bed in Anchorage, Alaska, became buoyant and floated to the surface of the frozen lake. Upon detection of the problem, the Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility sprang into action to temporarily stabilize the pipe, which continued to convey sewage by gravity despite having deflected vertically by as much as 14 ft. In a matter of mere weeks, the utility implemented a permanent solution while avoiding the discharge of wastewater into the sensitive aquatic environment.
