For the first time a four inch gate valve was inserted in a four inch main Thursday without shutting off water or interrupting service. The Bath Water District used the Smith valve inserting machine, improving reliability and reducing affected services by a third. The operation on Middle street involved a seven by five by 17 inch trench, with a 2300 pound machine, cutters, and sleeve soldering to seal connections. Underwriters approve the eight hour process as part of a planned valve rollout.
