The contractor continues to install the drainage system. This type of drainage system will allow rain water to infiltrate back into the ground directly under the field. If the drainage system reaches its capacity during large storm events, the system will allow the drainage water to overflow into Fuller Brook. The contractor has also installed the forms for the football goal post footings. Cement concrete will be poured this week.
