Anyone every have a keyed spigot not be abled to be turned off at night,on the weekend,on a city corner, with freezing temps coming? What a nightmare.....happened Saturday night and was fixed this morning.

This happened to me at a school a few years ago and it was a major event to fix. They had to shut down the water coming into the building to fix the spigot.

I was able to leave a section of hose and cap the end of it . Prior to that about 20 gallons a minute was gushing out. It was still leaking pretty bad after the capping with water shooting out of the key part.
 
I'm working for a PM but had to take control of the situation and made sure it got fixed. It was not a good situation for sure. I am putting on a valve that can be turned on and off then the hose just in casefrom now on. Very busy area from 6am until 9pm.
 
had a guy screw the spigot all the way out and water was pissing everywhere - took 10 minutes to find the screw-in valve that shot across the parking lot. Fun Times!

Ditto x 10 they just keep turning it until it shoots off Dooh !!
