IT'S FRIDAY AND IT IS POTHOLING DAY. THE CREW GOES AHEAD WHERE THE DIGGING WILL BE NEXT WEEK AND DIGS HOLES TO CONFIRM WHERE UNDERGROUND TELEPHONE, CABLE AND WATER LINES ARE.
DURING THIS PROCESS THE EXISTING WATER PIPE WAS LOCATED AND MARKED WITH PVC PIPE WITH THE DEPTH MARKED ON IT.
WHILE DIGGING, THE NEW PIPE HAS LOCATOR PVC PIPE INSTALLED AT COUPLINGS, VALVES AND TURNS. LATER, A 3" LOCATOR BALL WILL BE INSTALLED AT 24" DEEP. THE LOCATOR WILL FIND THESE BALLS, ELECTRONICALLY LABEL THEM, AND AN AS BUILT PRINT WILL BE MADE.
FINALLY A 3" WIDE METALLIC TAPE IS LAYED 24" ABOVE THE NEW WATER PIPE TO HOPEFULLY STOP DIGGING IN THE WRONG PLACE. PRINTED ON THE
TAPE IS " CAUTION BURIED WATER LINE BELOW"
