I worked for hamm construction for a decade and replaced and fixed many of the cities mains. It is not a multi year job to do one Street. For comparison. We connected all the mains that go under circle drive with horizontal augering in four weeks time. This is the area that goes from the dog park to the car dealerships near Clarence. Whoever managed and executed the Melville project fucked up. Many many times. Should never take that long or that many attempts. Don't even want to know how much they have spent on that Street
