OK...Gonna try and use my Pixie network for some non-sex advice here....

Anyone ever had a water main break on their service line? I am being told that I will need to let them do the following:

• Dig up 40 feet of yard about 4 ft under to get to the line
• Replace 40 feet of copper tubing for the water line
• Get a new water meter
• Take out ALL my landscaping to let them get in with backhoes, etc to do the work

I have called for 3 more estimates, and people should be arriving today. First estimate was $1500 ~ which will NOT include replacing my front sidewalk and re-doing ALL of my landscaping.

Anyone else ever had this problem? If yes, any shortcuts you know of?

Either way ~ I'd appreciate some advice on things you wish you'd known or done differently....


Damn, what a shitty way to start the day!
