I assume the city is “doing everything they can” but I’m pretty skeptical and suspect things could be improved and expedited because 5 weeks strikes me as pretty long, but not totally sure on the scope.
Also hate how the second anyone questions anything on here the sages of rational thought descend and attack in here as how dare anybody question anything (although government track record pretty much shows you should question probably everything).

The original repair will likely be done prior to the other ones recently discovered. They are working 24/7 though, but there's only so much manpower you can throw at it. For welding, probably one or two at a time at best. A lot of the work is done by excavators, where 2 are likely all you need. I imagine they are always moving forward, but it's a localized jobsite.
The big reason that there is a big jump in the fotecast is that the new breaks may not be as easily accessible, and now you have to dig it up as well (previous break it did most of that for them). This probably is going to mean hydrovaccing to expose it which isn't the fastest method. As well, replacement pipe segments now having to be sourced from afar or manufactured.
Now... If they don't have those private contractors mobilizing to the other sites yet, then I bet contracts team is holding things up.... That I'm not sure if they are already trying to get on site or not
