Narrative
A cable tv contractor struck a 4 inch pe main while boring and then hit a 2" water main which flooded the .5 psig gas system due to the water pressure being much greater than the pressure in the gas main. The ensuing flood of water into the gas main watered off several blocks of residential homes for a total of 666 customers that were shut off. Once the situation was identified on 7/9 the company spent until 7/20 clearing water out of the mains and services and reestablishing service to the customers.
