Not just a water main, a 54" water main!

The crazy thing is there are way bigger water mains. I know someone that was having trouble finding a leak on the property of a facility he managed. He ended up calling the city, or someone, who confirmed there was a pipe running under there from the city’s water supply to the treatment plant. They literally shut off the pipe and walked through it to find the crack. That was like a 96” pipe.
