Today we had to replace a 2 inch valve that was stripped (or so we thought). The valve stem would turn for eternity so once it was dug up, we took apart the valve insides and found that the valve stem was actually broken from someone overturning it.
Once dug up and replaced this is what the final product looked like. We used a telescopic extension on one end of the valve and screwed the other end of the valve into the existing pipe.
Earlier that week, another valve broke (just our luck I guess) and this is what it looked like (Below). We had no other choice except to turn off the pumps and replace this valve as well.
