Any reason why that stretch of water main was installed underwater? Technically difficulty? Cost saving?

If they able to clamp the broken pipe which means the pipe itself is not buried in soil but just underwater level?

This is not new method but is used even in 1st world country. There are 2 methods:
1) Dig a trench and lay the pipe on river bed
2) Bore underneath river and channel the pipe

Expert would say trenching method is temporary but usually temporary is forgotten until something happened laugh.gif Obviously, the cost is much cheaper than boring underneath.
