Urban Saturday Coverage

In the week before Easter I shot some photos that cover an ordinary story from city challenges. Maintenance of the old water pipe systems in the underground. Since we had sky watching on Friday, I feel it´s ok to look to earth today.

This Saturday Urban coverage is my experience concerning the repair of Water Pipe Leakage in our own city street.

First the digging and uncovering of the broken pipes and destroyed joint to the right. The man has to stay at the grab head to avoid drowning.

Second the preparation of the new joint by a plumber. He was very proud of the color and the material. He told that this the joint would last for more than 40 years. (The old one was from before the war.) Third the new joint for ramifying water distribution at the crossroad is connected to the system and we could open the tap in our house again.Forth the ramification is protected by a concrete bowlFifth the bowl is supported by peppleSixth the excavator is filling up gravel around the manholeSeventh and last surfacing of the road with asphalt makes the process come to an end.
Now everything is ready for Easter and the Bunnies are coming in their yellow dresses.

I was seriously reading your post and then had to laugh out loud when I saw the last photo about bunnies. lol You definitely have a sense of humor.

I was over here checking to see if I had posted on YOUR sky watch and got distracted!

It was very interesting. Neat that he let you take photos. You must have been there for awhile patiently waiting!
