Leak Information

March 2019 Leak

This is what a pipe leak looks like. The joint started leaking and the water spray blasts the copper pipe to a point that it wears the pipe thin and eventually there is a hole that increases in size over time. This leak was going on for a while.

If you notice a decrease in water pressure, a hole in your service could be the cause. Please let us know if you notice reduced pressure as soon as possible.
