Too many people have had to hear my weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth tale about the big pipe leak/break under my front lawn at the end of January that went unnoticed for way too long. So, I'll keep it really short --for me.
Months of ridiculous water bill -no clue why.
City finally came out and said, "Yes. There is water leaking somewhere. Your problem."
We discovered where.
Plumbers came.
Plumbers found leak/break after digging massive hole.
Four days of no water, minus two hours in the evenings to bathe, wash, and collect more water for the next day. Water gushing into the street during those two hours.
New line dug from meter to house.
Still looks like Bugs Bunny went through my yard on his way to Albuquerque.
Very expensive. More so than they said. Total bill not presented until after the work was done.
Unhappy husband. Teeth gritting wife. However...
SO thankful for running water. And tax returns.
Here are the kids excitedly watching our front yard getting torn up:

We had the same issue at our house in SLC, $4,600 and three trips back to our house (yes, three trips) the water and our sprinklers were all working correctly. That was in August, I am still fighting the plumbers to get back some money to pay for the extra water that we had to pay because they didn't fix it correctly the first time ($1,000+ total water bill).
We went thru the exact same thing a few years ago. It was such a mess and completely depressing. It does get better. I promise! Congrats to you for producing yet another beautiful and ginormous infant!
