Narrative
Contractor hit 8" steel main while scarifying old road base working pot ash into the base. The main was only 12" deep at the time of the damage due to prior grading work having already removed existing, additional cover. The 8" steel main is a one-way feed into the town of belton, mo. The damaged pipe was not shut down (though pressure on the line was cut back from 50 to 30 psi) until a 6" plastic bypass could be installed to carry the gas load. No customers were out of service at any time.
