Virtually unanimous frustration at last weekâs meeting of Culverâs town council reflected the prevailing attitude in the Culver community at large, regarding several weeksâ delay in movement on a project originally slated to take three or four days.
Replacement of a culvert at Lake Maxinkuckeeâs west shore outlet began in September, and was still underway as of the October 15 weekend, due to delays in replacing a gas line running through the area.
Audience member Mike Stallings blamed NIPSCO, whose presence was required at the site to reroute the gas line.
