This is an eight inch water main after being repaired that burst under a logging machine. 38,000 gallons lost in 11 minutes before valves above and below were shut off.



Mom and I had a great time at Robert and Danelle's
party...attended by The Grossnickle Boys and their wives.
We ate rich food, played games, and laughed a lot.
I am sure family blogs will "picture it" soon.

8" is a huge diameter pipe to just be leaking like any ol'pipe. I can't imagine the torrent of water this must have let loose. The other day I flow tested a well producing 50gpm. The most I've seen at once from a domestic well with a pump, and that produced 6000gallons but in 4hours!!! 38,000 is just a few more than that in 11 minutes!!!
