The city has removed an exposed pipe on Franklin Avenue.
On July 2, there was a short piece of pipe sticking out near the Racquet Club.
Yellowknifer was alerted to the obstruction. It protruded a few inches high, enough to damage someone's tire if they drove over it.
The top of the pipe looks like it was subsequently sawed off, however.
In an email, the city provided the following information about the situation.

Greencorn added that exposed pipes have occurred in other areas of Yellowknife where similar monitory wells exist.
