Investigation Summary
On August 1, 2006, Employee #1 was installing a T fitting connector to an existing 16-in. water main pipe, in which to connect a new 42-in. main pipe. A 2-ft section of the 16-in. main pipe had been cut out on the upstream side of a shut off valve that was attached to a pressurized 36-in. main pipe. As he conducted the installation, the seal at the 36-in. main pipe connection ruptured, ejecting pressurized water. The water stuck Employee #1 and knocked him across the excavation. He was pulled from the excavation and flown to shock trauma with possible back and chest injuries. At the hospital, he received medical treatment and was released that day.
