Tree being felled, rips up water main.

[muppetlab]

Anyone on here want to own up to why i have no water this evening?? Seems during the day a large horse chestnut was being felled. I did not see it but it looks like its gone over and the whole root ball has ripped up across a road and pulled up the water mains as well. I assume this was not planned. Interested to know what happened and whether it was a proper job or cowboys having a go. Going to investigate and maybe take some pics tomorrow if i get chance. Always good to learn something even if its from others mistakes. I;m in west norfolk,

That'll teach me to listen to my 75yr old neighbour. Had a look at the tree, only way it could have damaged the main is if a large enough impact caused it, theres no root ball ripped up etc. Silly ole fool. I'm nr snettisham.
