It's deep enough under the lane that we don't care to dig, because the shutoff is somewhere between there and about 40 yards up, and if we try it with a trackhoe, we'll cause more problems than we got.

My question is, is there a pipe glue for pvc that will adhere when applied wet? The line is gravity fed, around a 30 foot drop so talking 15 psi or less. If we could "wet glue" the line side, we could always close the valve and dry glue the hydrant side. Anyone glued wet pipe with any success before, and if so, what's the product?
Just use a screw type compression fitting & be done with it.
