In Episode Two, I related how I had gone to the spring to see why I wasn’t getting water to my house, and discovered that water was running into the barrel and not filling it up. So obviously there was a leak in the system somewhere; thus I was faced with the task of determining where the leak was.

When I could find the time I managed to separate a connection at the bottom of the ridge and found the water was making it to that point. After that the line goes through a tile where it’s lying in the stream, and then goes up onto a bank for maybe another 100 feet until it disappears into a hole where it’s connected to my original, underground water line. I thought most likely the section going through the tile was where it had cracked, so I tried holding up the pipe and peering through the tile, but couldn’t get it up high enough to see if there was water leaking.
