Repairs

	"Houston, we have a problem!" Every now and then we have a leak. This one is in the main pipe between the Treatment Plant and the Town! In the center of this image you can see a spray shooting up and to the left.
	Ah yes, I think this might be it!!
	While we are at it we may as well do something about this coupling! You can see the spray from the leak in this image also.
	After switching the town over to our back-up tank we get to work. Here, the four inch steel main is being cut in half. Unfortunately the main valve at the storage tank does not close completely tight and so it is wet work!
	The pipe is cut but the water continues.
	We install a new four inch valve and then shut off the flow. Much better!
	Now we can get close to the problem without getting wet! The leak was where the pipe was cracked going into the valve and the rusted out coupling is seen just beyond.
	The valve, coupling, and the pipe between them has been cut out and a new section of pipe installed using a cast iron angle joint and Mega-lugs. The pipe was reconnected to the new four inch valve and the system turned back on. Life is good!
