The First Irrigation Break of 2008

We lasted only two days after pressuring up the irrigation system before we had our first break of the year. The break occurred at #13 tees and it was located on the frost free mainline. The failure that occurred was on a 4” service tee that feeds a stop and waste quick coupler valve. The service tee itself is one of hundreds that are found throughout the golf course. This one in particular was a cement asbestos fitting that failed and was removed with great care during the process.
