Rungs snapped, sending the man to the bottom of the 10-foot pit

CALCUTTA - An employee with the water and sewer department of the county engineer's office sustained head injuries Tuesday afternoon after falling down a water meter pit outside an apartment complex in St. Clair Township.

Another employee at the scene who declined to be identified said the worker had been descending a ladder built into the wall of a water meter shaft at the edge of Calcutta Woods Apartments, 15172 Sprucevale Road, when one of the rungs snapped, sending the man to the bottom of the 10-foot pit. The victim was attempting to take a monthly water meter reading at the complex when the incident occurred.
