On the ranch here we have about a 1000 ft of pipe that feeds the main house,guest house.barns & so on.I've almost got it all replaced.The last thing i did was replace the line from the street to the "T" (300 ft run)that splits from the main house and the rest of the property.
So to verify no leaks, i switched over to the well, shut the valve off(input to the "T")and watched the meter.No movement!!Great- i got all the leaks.At that point i said,screw it and left the city water off.We get a water bill for 1700.00 saying that the meter stuck and this is a ESTIMATED bill based on past consumtion.
Now i get to go argue with the city a$$holes and explain what i did.And there have been articles in the paper saying the water dept. is crying the blues because people have been conserving and they aren't making enough money.Co-incidence?Har-dee,har-har-har.


Mike-Sam was the friggin' geatest.
