Workmen found a river in excavated areas at the new junior high school site between Washtenaw Ave. and Stadium Blvd. this morning. The heavy rains in the past 24 hours piled up waters about two feet deep in some portions of the site and halted construction of foundation walls. Work today was limited to pumping and ditching water from the submerged areas.
