10 Thursday, November 13, 1975 University Daily Kansan Repairs on city dam hoped to slow flow By BRUCE SPENCE The Brownset Dam on the Kansas garter, is getting a near life! The dam, which is vital to the water supply of the city of Lawrence, in is serious need of repair, and Stephen Hill, president of the Kansas Fibreboard Inc., the company responsible for maintenance, has set out to restore the dam. Hill has hired a private contractor to try to plug some of the holes where water flows under and through the dam. The process involves placing large canvas bags 30 to 40 feet long and 3 to 4 feet in diameter in the hole and then pumping them into concrete. fill aid yesterday that the contractor wasn't trying to plug all of the holes in the dam, but just in one of the main areas where the water was seeing through. "We hope to be able to close off that opening and perhaps close up or reduce the flow of water going through the dam," he said. A preliminary report prepared for the city by Black and Veatch, a Kansas City, Mo., consulting engineers firm, estimated that a cost of $250,000 could cost up to $755,000: $250,000 for poured concrete and from $100,000 to $125,000 for other maintenance. The study involved only a visual examination without drills or soundings. Hill said the work being done was in consideration of the Black and Veatch survey but that the report hadn't made any progress. The problems about how the repairs would be made. Hill, whose company maintains the dam in exchange for the lease of city land at Sath and New Hampshire streets, said that the private contractor he had hired specialized in underwater work and dam repair. The contractor has successfully used the same repair method utilizing the concrete admixture. City Manager Buford Watson said that he had discussed the repair work with Hill and that the city would wait to see how the cemeteries worked out. "It it works, it will be a lot less expensive way to fix the dam than what the engineers generally thought," he said. "It certainly won't happen. I'll just have to look and see what happens." Watson said that water had been leaking through the dam for about 10 or 12 years and that he wasn't sure all the leakage could be stopped.
