City crews continue search for source of 'catastrophic' water main break

Source of break could take days to identify, mayor says

"If we are being very, very optimistic, and they can remove the water from the site and actually get in there and have a look at what's going on, it is possible that within the next day to two days they can identify the problem," Gondek said.

Aren't they just wonderful! Her add to post is interesting. I have a son working on a pipeline in B.C. that was approved many years ago that I hadn't heard of as it never makes the news. Previously he worked on Trans Mountain which was major news daily.
