Patent attributes
Provided is a waste water collection device for collecting waste water dispelled from a water cooled saw. The device has a trough defining an elongated opening through the top, center and bottom of the trough to allow a water cooled saw blade to pass through the opening and contact a ground surface to be cut. The trough is constructed to retain waste water leaving the water cooled saw during use. A saw connection is constructed for connecting the trough to a water cooled saw so that the saw is within the opening of the trough. A waste water outlet is constructed to remove waste water retained within the trough. A flexible hose is constructed to remove a slurry from a trench cut by the saw during use. A vacuum connector is constructed for connecting a vacuum source to the waste water outlet and flexible hose. Also provided is a method of collecting waste water dispelled from the water cooled saw cutting the ground using the device.
