You keep putting stuff out there and you'll keep growing! That's what the big guys tell me to do and I'll tell you! We're going to be patching this road this week and I'll try to get some footage of the local concrete guys here doing their thing. Be good man!

Love your videos Tim… But where is your shoring or hard hats???

Man I wish I could work with u guys

Nice shoring nice ladder

Bob Riding's Ford must be central IL

Thanks for the video. When is the video in the last clip going to be on KZread? Please make videos about 10-15 minutes longer. Thank you!

Wheres the ladder?... ive never used chain scrapers while standing on a water main

Hydro vac unit and run the boiler and no need for all that equipment.

At least Arby’s was 40 feet away 😂

Tim why wouldn't ya'll open a hydrant and bleed the air off a lot faster or were you afraid of to much water coming out and refreezing?

Unfortunately this particular shut down has no hydrant on it otherwise we will flush them and have a salt truck on standby.

Next hydrant was too far to send it down one way? Also did you guys backfill with sand?

Is your guys street department and the grounds crew all one department? In my city it's all one thing, you'll see the guys fixing the storm drains one day and they'll be mowing the grass the next day. They get moved around a lot.

We have street, sewer, water, lake, and cemetery/airport dept. Most do their own things but if help is needed in other departments, everyone is usually eager to help out whenever needed.

Nice video Tim. Though at 4:06 may be the most awkward 40 seconds I've seen on KZread in a while.

Goes to show how water finds the easiest path and can be very far from the main, lucky your valves worked to shut them off... try working on mains from the 70's! Haha

This main was put in in the 60s I believe. It's supposed to get replaced now because of all the issues we've had. Only thing that saves us here is we've had so many breaks here, the valves get exercised alot lol!

With any luck, this main won't be in use within a year or 2! It's cast main and we've had several breaks on this stretch so we're looking at getting it replaced asap!

How many water main breaks can one channel/contractor possibly do? This is ridiculous.
