[Leica] Broken Water Pipe Part two.

[Aram Langhans]

They got it fixed at 3:00 AM.  Once they found the pipe the fix was 
pretty fast.  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?

New photos start here and continue to the right.
