I got it dug back to the meter.

I found the leak. If it weren't for the roots I'd fix the sch 40 pipe and keep trucking. Also, meter has roots on both sides. And the line has broken in the road twice in the last 5 years. At some point the water company will have to deal with the meter or the line going to it again. This is the 3rd leak in 10 years on my side line. The roots are just really bad. So this time I was determined to do a better job from the meter to the house. I'm going to drop the Sch 80 in and cover it with road salt. I've dropped salt on septic drain lines with the same issue and no had problems since. On the Sch 40 vs the Sch 80, to my mind its really an issue with the roots and the 80 just handling that better if the pipe gets pushed around. I could be wrong on that, but I'd feel like I did something smart anyways.

All mu cutoffs are in the old pump house. All that looks good. And the meter is safe from being run over or parked on.
