It was interesting seeing them search for the leak with the large vacuum cleaner. First right by the tree then over by the curb.? I guess it beats a backhoe as they did not have to have the gas line and cable line marked.? A backhoe would never have gotten by them anyway.? It was about 5 feet down, about 2 feet under the two other lines. .? The break was a clean break at a fitting.? As you can see from the last photo, the pipes don't line up so I guess 35 years of sheer tension finally snapped it. Great water system.? The pipe is 1 inch 125psi pipe.? Not even schedule 40.? So, we will have a hole in the ground until Monday when they will bring back some dirt and gravel to bury it back up, but we have water. So, what will we do today for excitement?
