.....nodots ekspluatācijā maģistrālais ūdensvada posms no 2.pacēluma sūkņu stacijas līdz ***dīķerim***, kas nodrošina noplūžu samazināšanos maģistrālā cauruļvada posmā.

English translation:inverted siphon
Explanation:
Saukts arī par dīkeri vai zemteku
(...) Nodošanu ekspluatācijā gaida otrais Mātera ielas posms no Lielās līdz Rūpniecības ielai; darbi Līču, Cepļu, Apiņu un Parka ielā, kā arī zemteka jeb dīķeris zem Lielupes un Driksas.

Tie vārdnīcā abi tulkoti kā "inverted syphon/siphon" ar latvisko skaidrojumu - Zemteka, cauruļveida būve ūdens plūsmas izvadīšanai pa šķēršļa apakšu (zem upes, ceļa u. tml.).

Definīcija no Water Words Glossary:
INVERTED SIPHON—A closed pipeline with its end sections above the middle section, used for crossing under drainage channels, roadways, depressions, or other structures. The term is common but misleading as there is no siphon action involved. Also referred to as a Sag Pipe.
