Shown in the ditch above are Randy Divine and Paul Langelier and Pat Pigeon with Don Pigeon in The Excavator further up.  Each morning, the water is shut off at the pumping station, as the crew prepares to work and before they leave in the afternoon, the water to all the houses on the line above the pumping station is turned on, utilizing the new line as far as it is installed and then further up, the old line.

I will try to go up when they are having lunch next week and get a photo of the whole group together.  The thought crossed my mind to go down into the ditch and get a close up photo, but suspect they would have to use the excavator to get me out of there.

Lots of things to see to as they do the job as each driveway has to be replaced as well as each mailbox where they are replacing the water line.

I hope they take Saturday and Sundays off.  Wednesday without a shower was interesting.  I'm guessing they shut off the water around 8 each day?
