WEBSTER, New York — The construction worker that was killed in an underground water tunnel accident has now been identified.

Authorities identified the worker as 45-year-old Thomas Means of Walworth in Wayne County.

The accident happened last Monday as Means was working on an underground treatment plant project on Lake Ontario just outside of Rochester.

According to police, Means fell off a train on Monday in the main artery of Monroe County’s water-treatment plant that is under construction near the lake shore in Webster, east of Rochester.

Means was riding on an underground locomotive with other workers when he fell off and was run over by the train.

Crew members had to tunnel through bedrock over 100 feet below the bottom of the lake.

Authorities explain that the $150-million project will supply an estimated 50 million gallons of water a day once it is completed in 2013.
