This has not been a fun morning... Woke up, and my toilet wouldn't flush. No water in the bathroom. Went down to the basement to check for a leak. Water all over the basement floor. Not coming from a pipe... Coming in through the wall at ground level (not a break in my line to the water main, that's below ground).
Figure that someone used my hose bib and didn't turn it off. Go outside to check it out. No water under the hose bib, but there's some water under the porch. Look under the porch.... Someone had stolen the copper pipe running from my basement to the hose bib (and the hose bibalong with it). The pipe was cut about 3 feet from the house wall, and water was pouring out. I reported it to the police. I guess I'll report ti to UCD, also. I guess installing a porch lattice is now a higher priority, maybe steel reinforced. --- Chip ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
