I discovered standing water between my neighbor and I's house a few weeks back. I checked my water meter and it was not moving nor was the mico meter (triangle) moving. I vacuumed up most of the water with a wet dri vac and it was back less than 12 hours later.
I called the city to check my water meter who stated it was fine and it did not show any signs of a leak. The city checked my neighbor's meter and said the micrometer was moving. The city shut off his irrigation and the micrometer stopped. The city told me the neighbor likely had a leak in his irrigation. The city left my neighbor's irrigation off and my standing water dried up.
I informed my neighbor who called a sprinkler company out. I had run my sprinklers the night before (actually the Rachio had automatically) and the sprinkler guy told my neighbors, "your neighbor runs his sprinklers too much. They don't even water golf courses this much". My sprinklers ran for 12 minutes a station (automatically by rachio) and they are small misters.
The sprinkler repair company didn't dig at all and told my neighbors that both houses likely had a leak and left. He did this in front of my wife and my neighbors wife. I was pissed about their level of "service" and comments. I was not home at the time.
Fast forward to today. They have a bunch of standing water in their yard now at the opposite corner from where I found my standing water (78 feet down the fence line but along the same fence). They asked if I had run my sprinklers again. My sprinklers have not run since 03/21 and I've turned them off.
Am I crazy here or do they not have a leak? If I had a small leak I would have wet ground and my meter would be running and I have neither.
I'm in DFW and can't get anyone out until April 9th to verify. I don't know why I am even calling anyone...maybe its because they aren't doing anything????
