City staff (agenda transmittal memo): The staff memo said the line ran through an alley and under an existing structure, had stoppages, that crews had spent many hours removing mud and pieces of concrete pipe from the lift station, and that a void might exist and a total collapse was possible, which would require 24-hour bypass pumping.[1]
