Description

So far, the airport has spent $2.5 million on flood-fighting efforts, and the total is expected to climb to $15.5 million by the end of August.

"Work on a major part of the airport's costly de-watering effort began Tuesday as contractors started installing 70 wells along the airport's perimeter and along the river. Each well, which will go down 90 feet, will be capable of pumping 1,200 to 1,400 gallons of water per minute, discharging water into 8-inch-diameter pipes."
