Wasatch Elementary Wall Update

We wanted to provide a brief update regarding the situation with the wall at Wasatch Elementary School. We are continuing to investigate and are working closely with a third-party firm to ensure a thorough and accurate assessment. We want to ensure that the design and rebuild will permanently address the water issues we have encountered.

They are currently drilling additional borings at the site. In all three borings, there will be a Piezometer inserted in the ground that will be used to measure water levels and saturation – this will be a measurement that we will be able to get at multiple times during the year. In two of the three borings there will also be an inclinometer casing installed to gather additional measurements in the soil. Those borings will be refilled with a fine grout that will be mixed onsite to make sure it is free of lumps. We will also be meeting after the borings are done to coordinate with all parties prior to preparing a detailed report to help guide next steps.

Our priority is to do this right, and we appreciate your continued patience as we work through the process. We are hopeful that more information will be available to share at the upcoming Board of Education meeting on June 24. In the meantime, we continue to meet regularly with Hogan and others involved in the evaluation.

Thank you again for your support and understanding.
