Grading, roads, and underground in Marysville

Marysville is a town inside a ring levee, and that shapes everything: drainage is pumped rather than gravity in places, the older streets have utilities layered on top of each other from a century of work, and every trench in the historic core turns up something not on the plans.

We pothole first here more than anywhere else we work, because the alternative is finding a 1920s clay lateral with a bucket.
