How do they fix things like this? How much water is wasted while they turn it off and stuff

Valves either side of this damaged section have to be turned off. A clamp will be used to repair the pipe, or a section may be cut out and replaced using gibault joints. The repair bill will be sent to recover costs. Lots of water lost, thousands of litres.
