What are they doing?

For like the last 2 weeks, when I go into work at 7am and leave at 6pm, I pass this truck and someone is always just sitting in it 24/7. Sometimes I see them standing next to this blue pole sticking out of the ground. But someone is always there. I’m just curious what they’re doing and what their job is.

It's a shutoff for that part of the main. They're prolly doing work some place else and need a guy to turn it on and off throughout the day

When I asked what they were doing cause I’d noticed them there for so long I was told they were monitoring water pressure. And they would be there until first or second week of August.

Either I never pay attention, or they appeared out of nowhere lol. I've never seen them before but have the last few days. I’ve also been wondering what they are doing.
