Water main breaks can flood streets, damage roadways and property, affect traffic and commutes, create downtime for businesses and increase the risk of accidents. Main breaks can also impact the distribution system, affecting flow, pressure and water quality - not to mention the cost.

From owners and employers to supervisors and workers, everyone has a role to play in ensuring health and safety on construction sites. When each party understands and acts on their responsibilities, from developing safety programs to following safe work practices, the result is a stronger, safer work environment for all.
