Using a tapping machine, the tappers drill a hole in a 6 cast iron water main and set a valve in that hole. While two members are doing this, a third member is preparing the copper line connecting the valve at the water main to another curb stop valve and then to the valve at the meter servicing the home. The fourth member of the team is allowed to coach but cannot touch the equipment. They competed against three other women s teams from Nevada, Connecticut and Oregon. But because there were not five women s teams as specified in the regulations, they were technically competing against men s teams as well.
Nobody does it better.
