It's a gusher

Oh the things you see...when running early in the morning. I head out the other day at O'dark thirty and just at the next door neighbor's drive is a water main leak. That is bad news in the area we live. Water is a ever more precious commodity.
I was just doing a short run so when out and around and came back. I figured I had better call it in. It was interesting to see where the water went. Down the gutter yeah...of course, but it split on the top of the grade and part of it went out around and returned to the street on the other side. It was a very interesting drainage pattern, but you had to be there to appreciate it.
At any rate, finally got the water company, and they fixed that one. By the time I got home they had another one just twenty paces away. Our water main is old...obviously... and they keep patching it.
