    Little Elf drainage work continues

    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (September 23, 2018) – The city’s Coffee Pot drainage basin improvements project continues to move forward, on schedule and on budget.

    Tiffany Construction Company, in conjunction with Arizona Water Company, UniSource Energy Services and the city will complete utility relocation work within the coming weeks for the Little Elf portion of the project, which is in the fourth and final phase.

    This final phase involves construction of a sediment basin upstream of the 72-inch pipe’s inlet structure located on a city parcel west of the Sugarloaf Trailhead parking area. The sediment basin will allow stormwater runoff to spread out, slow down, and drop sediment prior entering the drainage system. Sediment reduction reduces abrasion of the interior pipe walls, reduces sediment accumulation in the drainage system, and helps the storm drain maintain conveyance capacity.

    The city responded to input from neighboring residents by reducing the footprint of the basin by 65 percent to an approximate size of 100 by 140-feet. The bottom of the basin will be left open to allow for sediment storage and periodic sediment removal. To improve the appearance of the structure, the slopes along the basin edges will be landscaped with red rock boulders and native vegetation.

    Basin work is scheduled to begin Sept. 26. Because there are no large vacant parcels in the project area the basin location will be used to stage equipment and materials during the construction period.

    Installation of 72-inch drainage pipe is expected to begin in late October. Area residents will receive written notification at least three days prior to the start of major construction activities. Barring unforeseen circumstances or weather delays, work is expected to be completed in mid-April.

    Tiffany Construction Company is performing the work under a contract with the city. If you have any questions or concerns about this work or property access contact Cathy Wyatt of Tiffany Construction Company at (928) 204-9817. 

    Questions about the overall drainage project can be directed to Sedona Associate Engineer David Peck at (928) 204-7108 or dpeck@sedonaaz.gov.

    History of the project. In September 2009, this area was flooded and experienced significant damage. In response, the city began the Coffee Pot drainage basin improvements project in 2015. The overall project comprises four phases of work with a total budget of $4.69 million. This final phase will extend the 72-inch storm drainage pipe along Little Elf Drive to the city parcel north of the Coffee Pot subdivision, with installation of the inlet structure and sediment basin to mitigate 25-year flood events.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
