for maintenance and repair. Where in the past the requirement to carry out such repairs was a
backhoe and dump trucks, we now use a hydrovac vehicle for repairing water or gas
mains, services and valve boxes (water and gas), and performing anode installations. The use

having smaller, more localized access points.
