Here is a video of how you ‘hot tap’ into a water main while it is still under pressure and flowing water to the houses in town. This is done “live” as they call it to not to shut off water service to areas of town. This project is going on at the end of 14th St. to help connect the new Well #7 to the Water system infrastructure already in place. Here’s how it works: In this case a contractor, Winwater Services, installs a large stainless tap-band around the current water main(light blue pipe).
