When I got home today, I had a message. Apparently, my water supply line has broken and was flooding the neighbor's yard. They called the water company and had it shut down at the meter.
I have a call into a plumber, and I guess tomorrow morning I'll find out how much the advantages of indoor plumbing will cost me.
Above freezing there you can backfeed your house with a garden hose from house to house via the hose bibb. Buy some time to comparison shop or dig it yourself. Pick up some of the neighbors water bill, win win
Is that gonna work if there's a backflow preventer on the hose bib? Around here (Phoenix), I'm pretty sure it's code, anything built in the last 25 years or so has a backflow preventer on every hose bib.
Although, people have been known to remove them when they start dripping.
