Bluffton workers were busy at the northeast corner of Wiley Avenue and Marion Street Wednesday, replacing a damaged hydrant. Dave Hendricks, the city’s water distribution superintendent, said the hydrant had to be cut out and a valve replaced after a large truck struck and damaged the hydrant in a hit-and-run incident before Christmas. The intersection was a busy one Wednesday as construction crews prepared the lot at 304 W. Wiley Ave., diagonally across Wiley Avenue from the hydrant, for a new structure. The construction site is an empty lot where the city had ordered a house demolished in 2017. (Photo by Dave Schultz)
