Narrative
A landowner/farmer struck and damaged a farm tap setting with his disking equipment. The farm equipment destroyed the farm tap fence and signage, struck the farm tap setting, and cracked a 1-inch nipple on the high pressure side of the farm tap near ground level. He immediately notified 911 and emergency personnel responded. The 20-inch mainline piping was blown down to 75 psi so employees could approach safely. The shut off valve, below the cracked nipple, was shut off and the emergency was under control. The mainline was returned to normal and the farm tap was repaired the next day.
