We started at 9am and found the neighbors waterline with a shower of water 20’ high. Fixed that and continued digging searching for ours. Found it about 6’ North of the neighbors. Found it by puncturing it but there was no pressure and very little flow from the uphill section of pipe which signified we were close to the leak. Finally found it 50’ further up the hill. Once again, found where the person installing it originally cut every expense and violated every plumbing code known to the human race. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😡" title="😡" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" />He had 3, 45 degree fittings within a foot to align the 1.5” pvc so it would go around a rock. The water hammer when the pump kicks on eventually breaks the glue joint. The fix is a segment of a flexible PEX type material using special adapters that will be here tomorrow. Hopefully water tomorrow. [ATTACH=full]310733[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
