An Anglian Water sign pinned to a protective fence around the work says: "Repair sewer pipe in field."
The forecast date to finish the work is December 4.
So it's clearly a big job (sorry, folks!).
Fortunately, the location is very close to a mature hedge forming the boundary of the Rec, which is managed by North Lincolnshire Council.
The repair work does not extend as far as the kids' football pitch which runs alongside the entry road to the Rec and leads to Brigg Town Football Club. So you'd think that sport could continue. But in today's health and safety culture, it's never wise to make assumptions.
Much machinery, and you'd think much manpower, is being employed by Anglian Water on these welcome repairs.
There's a prominent banner pinned on the fencing which informs passers-by: "Love every drop - Anglian Water."
Given that this is a sewage repair we must ask: "Every drop of what?"

.......it's like life, Nige......you only get out what you've put in....
Some good jobs in sewage.....what about the Master of the Bedchamber under Henry Vlll......and the Gentleman of the Stool with KIng Charles...
These guys had to wipe the back-side of the monarch with a swan's wing....but in return, they received power, land and titles.
They were so intimate with the king, they became privy counsellors...very powerful and influential folks......
But that was the time b4 Andrex and the golden retriever doggie.....
Probably the most simple toilet were the heads in sailing ships......planks with holes tied to the side of the ship near the bow....the pointed end.
Their position were strategically important....in sailing ship the wind would be from the stern, so any spillage and smell would hopefully be blown forward.........
.....and then there's the case of the Russian submarine captain......he flooded his cabin and eventually the whole sub with sewage......he was right in the fertilizer when he got back to port...
