The replacement of the water mains and drains along East Houston Street continues. Outside my apartment window looks like a patchwork quilt of tar. They keep digging in the same spots and either filling it with sand and tarring over it, or placing those damn noisy steel plates. From what I have seen they are also replacing the gas and electrical infrastructure as well. It is expected to continue for another five years.
