that is actually a by-pass line that feed the homes and businesses while the water main itself is shut down to be cleaned. That break was caused by a car or truck that ran over the by-pass (plastic 4" pipe ). shut down is easy, but takes some time for the standby crew to get out there.
That's nothing major I used to fix stuff like that everyday without even being able to turn off the water. I looks hard, but the hardest part is digging around it and cleaning it. But I'm a bad motherfucker well at least I was when i was doing it.
The last person that told me to get bent didnt have water for about 14 hours when his house wasnt even affected for more that about 2 hours so watch what ya say to contractors. that being said know you can get bent..
mains are fed from so many different directions. and on old systems valve boxes are set few and far between. and J Fletcher Creamer is not a water department they may have repaired the main but it should be up to the utility company to shut down the main. I am a mechanical contractor I Can uderstand your melt down but before you tell someone to go screw get your facts straight.

I know... Anything free is good during a recession, after all.

Why didn't you just plug the hole with some gum instead of waiting 4 hours and getting all pissed off?
