Importance: Normal
Gerald,
Adam, Jake and I came up with an easy way to ensure other saddles on
Storey are not leaking without requiring excavation. The work order below
explains the plan - so if we run in to any questions in the future (say,
from our insurance company) we I'll have documented our risk management
steps.
If we find pressures still dropping we will talk about exploring the
remaining service saddles. Let us know if you have any thoughts.

We would like to pressure leak test Storey Dr, to ensure no other service
saddles are leaking. This should tell us if further exploration is needed.
During hot tap for bear creek we saw pressures drop rapidly on shutdown.
We now know this was due to the leaky tap that ultimately cause Storey to
fail. Now that the tap is fixed, we should see the line holding pressures.
if not, we should suspect further leaking going on. This is a risk
management action, to ensure we are doing everything we can to avoid
damage to customer property (like cars parked on the road) See Jake and
Adam for further details.
1) Set up static pressure gauge on hydrant at end of line.
2) Notify all customers, then turn off all curb stops.
3) Turn off isolation valve. stopwatch the pressure gauge to 50 psi.
4) Turn on isolation valve and recover pressure before dipping below
20psi.
5) Note results and whether we think Storey is still leaking.
