Investigation Summary
On September 17, 2005, workers were relocating a fire hydrant when a 6-in. valve came off of the main water line. The valve did not have a thrust containment device to hold the 200 psi of water pressure. The 8 ft deep trench quickly filled with water, and Employee #1, a laborer, suffocated in the mud and died.
