informed my neighbor that here new private water line though my field has been leaking.   I thought it was just heavy rains or maybe the construction guys crushed my culvert/rerouted ground water paths, but no.  today i took a look on foot and its like a little spring shooting out of the earth, in a 5' puddle, running off to the greenway. 


she said her contractor said its one continuous pipe and to call MCWA because they hooked it up on both ends. 

its 1500' or so and leaking right where they parked there didtch witch machine for a week lol. 



never ends, knew i should have said no to this crap

mcwa guy came this morning, same guy i have talked to a few times he is cool

they looked at her meter in the pit on my property and it wasn't spinning (indicating no leak).  took a water sample where it was running out of the ground.  he hinted he believed it to be ground water and not from the pipe but water test should tell


not sure why i now have ground water pumping out randomly in the middle of my field right where they parked a ditch witch, seems odd lol

3 guys, skid steer, dumptruck of top soil, seed, spent 2 hours on my property hand filling/raking seeding all the holes and bare spots from the water line install.

not bad looks pretty good.  i watered tonight, looks like rain wed hopefully it all starts to stick and not wash away.

should be way better for mowing now.  it was almost tolerable but pretty rough.

Looking like you'll luck out on washouts?

So far so good at home for me too, really heavy shit dodged me barely to the south once again.

we have had about 5 minutes of rain so far today, barely enough to fully wet the patio.. everything has definitely gone right around us.  But I would say I was a bit spooked by the Tornado Watches & then Warnings.  I took an actual lunch break today and finally put the concrete anchors in our gazebo
