At 6:15 p.m. on August 19, 2022, two employees, 19 and 22, were digging a trench with an Excavator for a storm sewer line that was located in the center of a new multi-residential housing complex that was under construction. The trench was approximately 29 feet long by 16 feet wide and 7 feet 6 inches deep. Both employees entered into a manhole section of an existing sanitation sewer line that was located approximately 6 feet from the trench. Both employees lost consciousness in the manhole section.
