looks like it's already been patched once before. Just wrap some duct tape on it and backfill

Our crew has spent over 80 hours repairing this line.  There are a couple of sections that are nothing but repair bands.  The decision was to just replace it, and what sucks the most is that in 4 months its going to be replaced again because we're installing a new water main.  :confused:

They're just little seedlings I have under a grow light in my living room.  I just hadn't watered them in a couple of days.  Right now the weather is pretty cold and windy, and we had ice last night on the roads.
 
Are you a city employee?
We had a 36 inch water main that broke couple weeks ago! One hell of a job in freezing temp , just to empty that area of the pipe took like 9hours!
I work for a city outside montreal, a fun job!

Yes I am!  I work for a city of about 95,000 in the Portland area of Oregon.  The biggest leak I fixed was on a 24 inch transmission main.  Our biggest sized pipe is 36in and that's what comes directly from the treatment plant.

Been there my friend.  That's why I work on the drinking water side now!
 
I'm assuming that picture was taken before the mandatory shoring was in place....
 
 
 
 
That leak would make a hellova sink hole!
 
Oh Yes.  The new water service was tapped and brought up to a more shallow depth so that we didn't have t run shoring all the way.  That would have been a real pain.
