Waking Up to Massive Water Leak is not Much Fun

Hey, take a look at what's new in my yard. Yes, it's a lake! Sure, just in time for the heat of the summer. Maybe, you get a rope up in the tree and use it to swing into the water. Oh, the good times!

As Grumpy Cat would say, no! This morning, I went for a run and as I get back to the house I hear what sounds like a water fall. Then, I see a massive body of water had accumulated. A pipe broke.

The good people at Carrolls Creek Water Authority responded quickly to help out. I was told, 58,000 gallons of water had leaked out. 58,000! That will be a nasty bill.

A co-worker asked if I had video or photos of the problem. I don't. However, I do have a close replicate photo and video.

The water from the leak formed a lake, a little like this one:

The spill somewhat looked like this gusher:

Some will say, Greg you are so exaggerating your leak problem. I say, maybe a little.
