So, last night after midnight, I was awoken to the doorbell ringing, someone knocking and my two boys getting ready to "HOLD THE LINE!" .......They were ready to roll....  And letting the whole neighborhood know it......It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on and ask my sweet hub, who was already awake, but still in the bed, "Is that our boys?" ...."Who the he** is ringing the doorbell.......It's midnight dude"......And of course he told me to get up and peep what was going on....It was my neighbor, her husband, and some City Water worker dude....A piece of the main water valve had broken and was producing Old Faithful in our front yard.... {And as lovely as that sounds - I'm sure I'm going to have a nice H2O Bill next month....}Our neighbor had went to sneak a late night cig break and thankfully noticed....He thought it was coming from his yard, and woke up his wife to call the City Water peeps.....Then the City worker guy  determined that it was actually our pipe that had busted, and of course it wasn't their responsibility.......And so he turned off the water and said to call a plumber.........And to have a "Good night".....I called LAKESIDE Plumbing first thing this morning - around 7:30 expecting to get an answering machine, or a voice mail option, but nope, got a very nice dude, who said they'd be out sometime in the A.M. and get us taken care of......They were out before 10 - got it all taken care - and only charged us $240.....I was so worried thinking it was really gonna cost us out the wazoo.....  The crew from LAKESIDE Plumbing said that they'd been super busy with this exact same thing happening around the area, due to inconsistent weather that we've been having, with the super cold temps - then the next day warm....Anywho, just wanted to share ......   Shout out to LAKESIDE Plumbing....Who just happens to be in the KDC Business Directory....Many, Many Thank You's..... 4951

That's a great price! A water main broke in our yard in a house we were renting out. It cost us 800.00 ten years ago. 4951

@topcatHoly frijoles!.....That's exactly what I was worried about dude..........That they were gonna say somethin' like BIG MONEY....  Like a G or more....   And the two guys that came out from LAKESIDE Plumbing were just stellar....I mean - they located the area where the damage had occurred - broke out the shovels and got busy digging....  They kept us informed and showed us exactly what had been broken and where......Repaired it - filled in the dug up area - cleaned it all up - and only charged us $240.....Really EXCELLENT SERVICE....... All the way around.....  4951

@KTownTexican: @herron1345:If the leak was downstream of your meter, you might see a high bill, but you can ask for an adjustment.If the leak was before your meter, they have no way of knowing how much water leaked so they shouldn't charge you any extra.

BTW, after dark, I usually answer the door with Mr Mossberg (12ga pump shotgun) and a high-intensity flash-light. 4951
