Incident Narrative

8.31.22 WHILE CUTTING GRASS ON A TRACTOR, A LANDOWNER RAN OVER A 1"" TAP VALVE THAT IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE BECOME EXPOSED DUE TO THE RECENT RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE AREA. THE TRACTOR CAUSED DAMAGE TO A PUNCHING TEE BELOW GROUND BY OPENING A 1/8"" HOLE IN THE THREADS OF THE TEE. THE LANDOWNER THEN CALLED ET SYSTEM CONTROL AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE SITUATION. AT 1630 SYSTEM CONTROL NOTIFIED MEMBERS OF THE EMMET TEAM AND THEY CONFIRMED THE DAMAGE AND LEAK AT 1727 OF THE SAME DAY. THE DECISION WAS MADE TO LOWER THE LINE PRESSURE FROM 350 TO 200PSI AND MONITOR UNTIL REPAIRS COULD BEGIN ON 9.1.22, DUE TO THE NEED TO MAINTAIN DELIVERY TO A CUSTOMER. THE INITIAL BELIEF WAS WE WOULD NOT EXCEED THE REPORTING THRESHOLD, AS WE BELIEVED WE COULD EXPOSE THE VALVE AND SHUT THE FLOW OFF. FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE DAMAGED FITTING REVEALED BROKEN THREADS BELOW THE VALVE. ONCE WE DISCOVERED THIS WE MADE THE REPORT, AS THE REPORTING CRITERIA WOULD BE MET BEFORE THE REPAIRS COULD BE COMPLETED. REPAIRS BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 ON 9.1.22 AND CONTINUED INTO 9.2.22. THE LEAK WAS TERMINATED AT 0300 ON 9.2.22. ET EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS INSTALLED A THREE-WAY STOPPLE FITTING AND REPLACED A 5' SECTION OF THE PIPE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. THE DAMAGED COMPONENT WAS REMOVED FROM THE SYSTEM. THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR INTERRUPTION TO CUSTOMERS AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
