got called out saturday at 5 pm to a burst on a 10" main ,the digger was as usual nowhere near the burst ,so after 2 hours traveling arrive on site just as the light faded ,a quick scan of the site and plans showed no other utilitys on this side of the road ,so we dug down to find a egg sized hole,a trip to the yard to get a clamp and job done ,a nice bit of overtime :thumbs_up:
