Workers guide a new 125-foot-long, 1,500-pound section of stormwater drain pipe into a trench above the Larry Scott Trail on Tuesday in Port Townsend. The new pipe is bigger and made from a different material than the PVC that it replaced. Last winter, the old pipe fractured in places due to weather and caused dirt and rocks to slide onto the trail. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
