Advisory committee urges use of ground-penetrating radar during cemetery water-line work
Summary
Committee members recommended hiring a company to perform ground-penetrating radar (GPR) as Morrison-Maierle installs a new water line across the Boulder Cemetery, to avoid inadvertently disturbing graves.
Members of the Boulder Cemetery Advisory Committee recommended that the City Council hire a firm to perform ground-penetrating radar (GPR) before Morrison-Maierle installs a new water line through the cemetery. Rosemary Perna said the engineering firm Morrison-Maierle 'would be installing a new water line for the whole length of the cemetery,' and members said GPR should be used as a precaution so 'a grave is not inadvertently dug up' during the work.
Committee members discussed the recommendation as a protective measure tied to the city's upcoming infrastructure work. The committee agreed to provide a recommendation to City Council to hire a GPR company; Perna framed the suggestion as a necessary precaution during utility installation.
