Being on call or working overnight at the water plant and we get a main break. Contacting the poor on call underground guy, tracking where the leak was and stepping up water production to fill the rapidly draining elevated tank . You guys are the true heros on all this. Winter has to be the worst. Nice job with those Hymaxx couplings.
@@jhogan1960 making the water safe to drink is no easy feat , lots of math and formulas to learn !! It’s way over my head , lol just give me a wrench and a some parts lol
Been nice watching your vids. I spent 22 yrs doing the same..... 1976 - 1998. I feel for ya. You and your crew do a good job, with enough personnel and proper equipment. Keep it up, and when you retire , then it's easier watching vids !! New Hampshire man.
We once had an electrical short in a pump control unit that turned 4 pumps on simultaneously on the 42" gravity main from the water plant.... Line pressure jumped from 33psi to 60+psi over the 6 miles of main before it got into town. We had almost 150 breaks that day, took us 2 days of continuous work to catch them all.
@@suzylarry1 main breaks around here are very common , especially in the older sections of town , got lucky the last few years with a handful, but we are do for some doozy’s here I’m sure
In Canada for your water distribution do you have educational grades such as Grade 1,2,3,4 and so on? Just curious if it’s similar to how it is in California.
Wow Long day back when we was doing digging we got the call 10 pm water main break fix that and then 6 am next day water main break 10 blocks away from 1st one got that fix and thought we was done Nope a 14 inch main breaks and took into day 3 and our ass was dragging We had a 8x8 20 foot long trail with parts for after hours breaks No Iam the man standing on the street over looking the guys work

Watched about 5-6 of your videos randomly so far. Have not seen one where there were ANY other utilities in the hole. Do yall not use gas up there??
@@repairdrive nope
@rodpreston100 Woah. Nice!
Awesome work, is that how deep a lot of your lines are
@@smalltownmachineshop6860 yup 😁🍻👍🏼
Late night water breaks are the best nobody around
Just gotta watch out for the idiots that run into hydrants 😅
This is going to be a real expensive one for someone's insurance company.

No rest for the weary
It's funny how city and county workers can get away without having a trench box
Trenching and excavation course explains when you need one or don’t ,
That hole isn’t that deep
