The Water Main Broke Again
About seven years ago, a water main broke behind our garage. I remember that it was toward the end of December, and we thought that maybe the neighbor’s pool had sprung a leak. There was a lot of water. The town came and drove a bobcat through our backyard. It just made a big mess. Workers were digging in my backyard late into the night.
I’m not sure if water mains are like lightning strikes, but it happened again in the same spot. Again, the town brought in equipment and dug up a goodly chunk of my backyard. On the bright side, the boys got to sit in the mini-excavator. They actually ate their lunch on the back deck while watching the workers do their jobs. It might have been a little cold, but they were bundled up and happy.
The yard itself has changed a bit since the first time this happened. I was worried about the new concrete patio next to our garage, but they didn’t damage it at all. They did crack a couple of fence post toppers while removing the fence, but the guy who came out said that they would replace those within a few days. So the water main got fixed and we shouldn’t be any worse for wear.
