The Goal Is Excavation
Walking back from the store this morning, I saw a pretty bizarre sight--large quantities of water roughly the same color as cement oozing up from beneath one of the trees planted on the sidewalk and splashing all over the street.
Five minutes later, the police showed up and started directing traffic.
Thirty minutes later, the big blue Department Of Water trucks showed up and started digging. Sure enough, one of the main mains for the 'hood burst. As of now (8 hours after I first saw it), they're still digging. It's really loud, even over the roar of my air conditioning.
Mercifully though on the hottest day of the year, our water isn't affected...a definite blessing for anyone I encounter tomorrow.
