Mains water

Whilst the digger was trenching for the drains a trench was taken out for the mains water pipe. It was a tense time whist we located the end of the main water pipe left underground by Thorne the previous year. Our recording of the position of the underground pipe was spot on. One of the members is a Plumber by trade and he was charged with connecting up the water pipe and supervising the back fill of the trench. The free end of the pipe, which would eventually connect to the water trough, was blanked off a tied to a big post for the machine drivers to work round. The water trough would be installed at a later date
