Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on June 3, 1999, Employee #1 was in an approximately 14 ft deep excavation, replacing a coupling on an 8 in. water line. As he was working, an adjacent 16 in. water line failed and a blast of water struck Employee #1 in the chest and on the left side of his body. He suffered a fractured left arm, four fractured ribs, and a lacerated spleen and kidney. Employee #1 was taken to Kaiser Hospital in San Diego for treatment. According to the foreman, the cause of the accident was the apparent failure of the 16 in. water line at a point where it had previously been repaired.
