October 2021: Water Pipe Upgrade

A new water pipe was approved to be installed by the Chapter in October. This pipe is to bring water into the building at St. Paul’s. Now installed, it fully replaced the one that failed and originally caused the flooding of the undercroft. The pipe is of a larger diameter than the original one, to allow for the necessary upgrades (sprinkler system) when the undercroft is renovated. Since the street had to be dug up etc., the cost is ~$87,000 for this essential work.
