| At approximately 11:22 a.m. on April 4, 2006, Employee #1, a welder, and a coworker, an assistant, were cutting and plugging a 30-in. steel water line in an excavation approximately 15 ft deep. After a section was cut out of the 30-in. water line, Employee #1 and the coworker finished the welding of the plug on the dead end of the water line. The water flow through the line was reestablished that resulted in a pipe becoming separated and striking Employee #1, killing him. Water began flooding into the excavation site. The coworker was able to exit the excavation without injury. | |||||||
