To do the repair, we shut off the water in the outside pit. We still can't drain the system. Clear water runs at about 25 PSI. We called in the water purveyor and they shut it off at the street. Same results unchanged. We have examined the original site plans showing only one connection. Water purveyor has checked their plans and agrees. Obviously there is another connection, whereabouts unknown to anybody. Any suggestions on how to proceed? We could freeze the line for the repair, but would prefer to locate this other connection. C.
