How does that still happen? Just lots of rain? Or did the city screw up with the locks and let water in from the lake?

I've actually always wondered whether the Army Corps of Engineers needs to come back and re-dredge the river at some point to keep it flowing the way they've made it flow. Or do they do this regularly as maintenance?
There's only a thin sheet of steel between this pit and a major river. You can't pump it out because there's nowhere for the water to go - can't put it into the river, and the sewers are overwhelmed.

Also since they don't have a ramp, they can't easily move the equipment out of the pit. Seems like that should have been factored into the staging somehow.
