Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:30 p.m. on October 12, 1995, Employee #1, of the City of Portland Water Bureau, was in an excavation measuring and attempting to replace a broken water line. He was standing with his back approximately 4 ft from the edge of the 4 ft 3 in. deep excavation when the bank sloughed off, pinning his legs against the pipe. The water supply had been shut off at 9:27 a.m. but the disturbed soil was saturated. The two lower bones in Employee #1's left leg were broken. The fire department rescued Employee #1, administered first aid, and then transported him to the nearest hospital.
