An eight foot water main is a big one - what happened to “Call before you dig?”

According to the news, a contractor was working with the city of Houston doing some exploratory work around there, moving some soil, etc. when the pipe burst.

Flex seal sucks. Tried it once, the tape devoted a bubble and popped and that was it. Not worth crap.

We’ve had two water mains break in front of our house in 16 years.
A big oak tree root caused them both times. They won’t cut down the damn tree, just keep replacing the line.................

Devoted = developed. And it was just on a little garden hose, it couldn’t hold the pressure.

A City of Houston contractor caused the 96-inch water line to burst when soil was moved during work on a city project, according to AlertHouston. How would you like to be the guy trying to figure out where to shut it off.

a 96” water main break would send a geyser hundreds of feet into the air and blow a MASSIVE hole in the area surrounding the break ...

Ha! They're worried about the 200-team BBQ cookoff at NRG stadium that's about to start, as a start to the rodeo month.

We were just told to send half of our people home. We may end up sending the rest home before too long
