Incident Narrative
"THIS LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A CRACK IN A WELD ON A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED FITTING. WE ARE UNSURE OF THE INSTALLATION DATE OF THE FITTING. OUR INVENTORY MAPS SHOW A DATE OF 1951 BUT THE INSTALLATION DATE IS NOT ON THE MAP. WE WERE ABLE TO INSTALL 3-WAY STOPPLE FITTING TO MAKE THE REPAIR. WE REPLACED 40' OF PIPE AND ONE 2"" VALVE. THE LEAKING SECTION WAS REMOVED FROM THE PIPE."
