Second Floor Plumbing Rough-In Begins at Peoples Bank

Crews have started rough-in plumbing work on the second floor of the historic Peoples Bank. With underground plumbing already in place, the plumbing team is hanging support straps and dry-fitting new piping for the upstairs bathrooms.

This pre-fit process ensures proper alignment before any permanent connections are made. Once the layout is confirmed, the team will trim and join the copper piping to meet the building’s updated water service requirements.
