In a Hole, Literally

Well, the water line (not water main) broke for 3 of the 4 of us on this street. Given the fact we negotiated a pretty nice rate with the plumber ($2800ea) all 4 of us got new water supply lines. Oh, how wonderful is full water pressure and the end of 100 years of pipe corrosion. Only one hickup. The old water line supplying 3 of the 4 houses completely failed after only 2 of the 3 were hooked up to the new. Hence, my immediate neighbor to the east had to temp engineer a water supply by connecting their garden hose to my yard faucet and reverse feed their house with water via their garden spigget. All is well now.
