New Patent Road culvert easily handled today’s water flow

This culvert is usually bone dry, but a little water was flowing today after an almost three-inch rainfall.
 
Last April a four-foot-wide sinkhole appeared in the Patent Road about 700 feet north of Mother Cabrini Shrine. The new culvert cost the Town of Peru about $264,000. NYS Department of Environmental Conservation regulations required that a more expensive open bottom culvert be used because the brook flows into a trout stream, the Furnace Brook.
 
In 2013 The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ordered the Town to increase the size of a new culvert being installed on the Fuller Rd. That $42,575 change order also involved fish protection.
