  Yes yes yes, about 6 o’clock they show up with truck and trac hoe. Took about 50 minutes and we were done. Those guys are good. This is and old house, I figure 130 years old, but I love this old house and it’s location in the country.

  Thanks everyone for the suggestions and moral support.

  It was a rust spot from age. Made plans with them to replace pipe maybe come late march when weather is better. It was a patch fix bolted up tight, hopefully will hold until march. I’m as happy now as Tiny Tim with a prime rib at Christmas.

  That is what happened to us. Rusted out. Replaced it with plastic pipe. This was 20+ years ago.

  There was a backhoe involved. $$$

  I live on top of a hill and the well head is at the bottom, a good 100 yards or so by my approximation. I had to get a specialized company that does underground side boring to drill and place conduit for new wiring. Between those specialists and the well company, the bill totaled just a tad north of 10K. 😓

  
  

  Thank God for homeowners' insurance! My out of pocket deductible was just 1K. 🙂
