Not The Start We Hoped For - We Broke The Water Main
What happens here
Immediately after the water leak was observed, the narrator attempted to troubleshoot by trying to shut off the property's irrigation system, suspecting it might be the source. However, this action did not stop the flow, confirming it was a main water service line. Given the uncontrolled flow, town services were then called to locate and shut off the main water supply at the street, a critical step to prevent further damage and allow for repair.
Goal: Upon discovering the leak, initial attempts were made to shut off the irrigation system to determine the water source. When this failed, town services were contacted to shut off the main water line at the street.
