These photos were taken at the site of a large diameter water main break that occurred on Monday, December 27 in the lower northeast Philadelphia. These photos were taking on January 4 and January 8. On the 4th, crews placed shoring in the trench. This allows them to work safely in the trench. On January 8, crews removed the broken section of main which will be analyzed to determine the cause of the break. Updates on this project can be found at http://www.phillywatersheds.org/alerts
