Prepare for Water
Main Construction
by
Tom Topping
As I write
this, construction of a new ductile iron water main is beginning in

over 80 years old, and will be highly resistant to damage in the event
of a
major earthquake.
As you may
remember, last year, the water main along Townsend Avenue north of
Colorado
sprung a leak, was repaired, then leaked and was repaired again and
again until
the whole thing was replaced. Water service was interrupted on and off
for many
months as the new one was installed and hooked up. The same scenario is
happening right now along Colorado Blvd., but in this case, almost
everyone's
water service in Eagle Rock will have periodic interruptions. Also to
be
interrupted periodically will be traffic and with that the local
businesses, as
Eagle Rock's busy Colorado corridor will be narrowed to 1 lane of

Farewell
Steven E.
It is with sadness we report the loss
of one
of the
Boulevard Sentinel family. Steven Estrada, who contributed the column "Nite Out with Steven E."
died last month from complications of liver failure. He was a freelance
writer
for this paper who had an encyclopedic knowledge of so many types of
music. Few
know that he was also a stand-up comedian who worked night clubs in
Ensenada
Mexico as well as the occasional cruise ship gig. Steve was always a
gentleman
who liked being with his friends and raising a glass or two. He will be
greatly
missed.
