A few weeks ago the main water line across the street broke. It was repaired, and life returned to normal.
The rains came after 144 days without. The other day I noticed that it was wet in the front yard.
I had to dig a bit.
Yes the dirt is every bit as grey as you see it. When I got down to the line I discovered the problem. The PVC had failed in the joint. Small leak, but here in the desert water is important.
My son had stopped by for something else, but pitched in.
Among the treasures was this 4 foot 2×4 buried about an inch down, Plastic sheeting and other assorted garbage.
A trip to the hardware store, for a coupling between the copper line and the PVC, a short length of PVC and a PVC Coupler made short work of the problem.
I will leave it open for a day or two before I bury it,
