Here's another leak for you. This time I had the pleasure of operating one of our Vaccon trucks. A subcontractor for ATT hit one of our services line while running fiber optic lines. That leak plus the rain from the day before made quite a mud hole.

First step when using the Vaccon is to fill it up with water. We not only use the water to help hydro-excavate, but also to help clean out the tank when dumping.

| It's not supposed to do that. Joys of others improperly using the Vaccon |
Leak turned out to be a single service broken down low. Since we were already at the main, we decided to rebuild both the broken and neighboring service. We replaced the PVC with poly, as that is our new standard.

Poly Tee coming right off the main. With Poly, there are less fittings to use.

Got everything buttoned up. I left before we back filled so that I could go dump the Vaccon.
 |
| Poly lines running to service meters |

| A clean truck is a happy truck. |
