HELP, major water leak !


Recommended Posts

We live in Vista Alegre and Simapa runs water to our community every other night starting at 7pm to our alhibe's. We recently developed a leak that is getting worse and shows itself at the base of our 9 ft. retaining wall down by the street but behind the curb and on our property. The water seems to be coming from behind the retaining wall on our property but we show no moisture or water in our back yard that is above 9 ft. above the street. We had a contractor dig behind the curb about one meter deep but found no pipe etc.

We have just had our irrigation system checked for leaks with two contractors and all the irrigation valves are working properly, yes we had them dug up. We have had the irrigation system turned off since Tuesday to help isolate the leak. We just had a new float and valve installed in our alhibe yesterday hoping this was the problem but when Simapa ran water Sat. at 7 pm the leak started once again. Our alhibe is north of our casa and at least 80 ft north of the retaining wall.

Are there any contractors that may have expertise and testing equipment to help locate the leak. Yes we are worried about the integrity of the wall.

Your advice, comments and suggestions would be more than welcome.

Thanks,

Bill
