Change of Plans

Wednesday was to be my final big dirt hauling day. I rented the truck and drove it up to Buckingham, only to find the street blocked! The Glendale Water crew had arrived before 7:00 am and were already set up and ready to dig! After greeting them and showing them the meter location, I went to take back the dump truck. With a very efficient crew of just 3 guys, they dug a trench about 10 feet long and 4' deep, "tapped" into the 6" cast iron water main under the street, and ran a new 1 1/2" copper pipe to my new meter. Then they set a box around it, back filled the trench and put some temporary asphalt on top. All of this was accomplished in about 6 hours!
