Indoors yesterday afternoon and one of the new students over the road came home. He got out his car, walked over to our side of the road and took a photo of something. I wandered out a few minutes later an there was water bubbling out of the road in 3 - 4 places. I called the city and a guy came round within 10 minutes took a look, a few cones around it and went away. Water was left on over night.
This morning they started to appear at 07:00 and we had at one point:
The man who searches for pipes and wires with his gadgets and spray cans of paint.
A backhoe and driver.
5 assorted pickup tricks, some with gear, some with trailers and one that looked like a portable dining lounge and washroom.
2 large trucks for stuff removed.
A whole flash mob of guys in hi-vis clothes.
Water pipe fixed by 3pm and they will be back in force tomorrow to replace a piece of storm drain, fill up the 10' square hole and patch the road.
Next week the concrete guys will come by to fix the concrete curb.
Our street only has 12 houses
