I believe it is a leak from having work done by non professionals who have nicked a pipe. The water never stops.

I approached her face to face initially and she yessed me to death and then suggested dinner some time to deflect the conversation. Our next encounter was a screaming match a week later after Public Safety came out.

Her landscaper came out and said "gee, the sprinklers are working" and left. My landscaper offered to dig a trench for me but that's just a bandaid that doesn't fix it.

I like your idea of a letter from my attorney. I'll put that on my list of phone calls for tomorrow.

Thank you.
This is probably not the case since you've already had people there looking at the problem but just be certain that it is NOT coming from your own property. (how embarrassing)

What if it was actually YOUR pipe that was nicked before the meter?
Even if your system has been off for 5 months as you say in post 37. And even if your irrigation water usage is zero, it is still possible that the leak is before YOUR meter.
The water dept can test that.

I'm wondering this because if your irrigation system has been off for 5 months, I'd think your entire lawn (front, rear and sides) would be mostly brown and dead.
And if your neighbor is watering so excessively, why isn't her lawn also root rotted? Especially in poorly drained areas.
