Crews working around the clock to repair a damaged water main. The hole was about 12 feet deep.
Everything associated with the water works is large, whether the machinery, materials, or the men.
The water trucks are massive. This one camped right in the middle of an intersection.
The work went on non-stop for several days. One day, the crews and their machines were gone.

Nice photos! From time to time I have seen water work done too. Parts of Sheridan Road, which I live nearby, have seen the water department fix the same pipes twice over at times! The machinery is indeed larger and loud !

The graft, the churning. . . . it never ends. Many of the streets, however, being a century or more old, are scheduled to cave in! Many of the pipes, too. I love looking down into the streets when they are opened up. . . . the brickwork and caves down there are ancient. It’s a wonder they have held up as well as they have.
