Played with those valves for 30 years. You haven't lived until you have 4' of ice in the valve chimney and the water main is spewing out water and the air temp is -30° C. Glad I'm retired now. Keep up the good work.
Love the vids man I’m in the same line of work so it’s always interesting seeing how other places do things. Out of curiosity tho I’ve never seen any bluestakes or utility locates on the ground is that not a thing? Or what’s going on?
I like when you have to replace the 10 bolts in the valve and half of them the bolt heads are gone so all you have to do is punch them out and put new ones in.
@@rodpreston100 Looks like somewhat decent dirt too. If we used a trench box every single time, nothing would get done quick enough. Sometimes it’s more of a problem to dig a hole out to accept a trench box
Hello I got a question since you're with the water company I assume that you would know this question is the water company supposed to tell you that they are going to shut your water off when they're working on it
If it’s an emergency line break and water is washing out properly or risking safety we shut off water first, if we do main line work that is scheduled, we give 24 hrs notice , if it’s a non payment for water bill, after the 3rd bill we hand out notices for shut off until payment is made 🍻😁excellent question

You guys don’t use a trench box?
Why? The ditch isn’t 3 feet wide by six feet deep, it’s legal . 🍻😁 the go pro doesn’t really show how good the 1-1 slope was , it’s good

@ yup we always take way more then we need as well to make the ditch safe
