Water Main Leak at Clubhouse

Over the past few weeks we noticed a water leak coming from the Clubhouse.  This leak was very hard to detect, and it took us a lot of investigating to find out what the root of the problem was.  On Sunday morning, we decided to dig in front of the Clubhouse where the main water line comes into the basement.  What we found was a very large leak, so we decided on Monday we had to get it fixed.  It turns out that the ground has settled slightly over time around the Clubhouse, and when it settled it cracked the pipe which is running through the basement cement wall.  The wall did not give, but when the ground moved with the pipe something had to give, and it was the pipe which was the weakest point.  So, after digging out a large hole to the left of the front door, were able to locate the pipe, remove the broken piece, and begin the repairs to get the water back on and working with no leaks.  We apologize the repair has taken so long and the Clubhouse had to be closed today.  It should be no problem to open back up first thing Wednesday morning ready to go.  Here is picture from outside the front door of the Clubhouse:

You can see here even Buddy is surprised by how deep the water line is located!  The black pipe at the bottom of the hole is the main water line, and it is about 7 feet below the surface of the ground!  We had to cut a new hole, remove the pipe and run an all new piece to repair the broken section.  What a mess!
