Did you catch this weeks vlog?! Mayhem ensued. But luckily we got it patched up pretty quick!

What happens here

A pipe has burst, causing significant water leakage and muddy conditions around the house. Initial attempts to stop the water by shutting off irrigation and well systems were unsuccessful, indicating the issue likely stems from the main water line. The township is contacted to perform a complete shut-off at the street level, which is necessary before any repair work can begin on the main line.

Goal: Identify the burst water pipe, attempt to shut off local irrigation/well water, and contact the local authority (township) to shut off the main water supply at the street.

[Music] Well, plot twist in the video. Let's see what we can do here. First thing I'm going to do here is uh shut off their irrigation. I don't know why the irrigation would go through the house, but maybe it does. Tried shutting off the the well. That's for the irrigation. That didn't work. Township's coming out. Shut off the water at the street. And then we'll just have to fix it.
