A split PVC fitting sprays water from the house main water supply line.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Walking alongside the house I hear running water so I stop and listen. The sound is obviously a bad leak somewhere, but the sound is not coming from our house. Rather it is the other side of the hedge, under Bill and Gail’s house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I push through the oleander hedge and listen again, yup… a leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking around I find Gail home and tell her about the leak. I crawl under their lanai to find a small muddy swamp and the leak right where the main line comes in from the street. Fortunately Bill is in already Kona, a few phone calls and a visit to Lowes and he is headed home with the right part for the fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes Bill and I ten minutes to make the fix, cutting the PVC, screwing in a new fitting, gluing the old line into the new fitting right where the PVC line from the street changes to copper for the house.
