Where did the lake go?

For the last 2 years the City of Lake Oswego has had a major infrastructure project going on:  the replacement of the aging and inadequate sewer interceptor line that ran along the bottom of the lake.  The line is about 9000 feet and was both too small, causing over-flow when it reached capacity in heavy [...]
