Whatta Water Leak!

Let's just say the lawn was extremely green this year and our water bill kept getting higher and higher. I was thinking wow... the City of Montrose is getting really pricey for some water. It seems as if we had a leak in our main water line that goes from the back of the house to the garage. There must have been a crack in the pipe that slowly over the summer kept getting worse and worse till it busted and the meter ran out of control. We wouldn't have known if the meter reader from the city would not have left a note for us. So a few days after we had an excavator and a plummer out to fix the problem. What a project. Here are some pics of the fun day.

The pipe was over 6 ft deep. Thus the poor guy in the trench.
Check out our "lazy river"

Massive digging going on.

Just a little pond, that's all.

All finished and back to normal...somewhat.
