When I first moved into this house, 2 months after closing after we did a bunch of work. The water company replaced a flooding meter box out at the curb. 6 hours later I heard a loud crash and Niagra falls down in the basement.
I ran down stairs first to grab the main to turn off the water, but the elbow had popped of between the main coming in and the shut off in the house.
I ran outside and hit the shut off at the box. It turned out we had 93 lb. pressure when they tested it. God only knows how much more it might peak to.
Ever see how much water comes out of a 3/4" main @ 93Lb pressure. in 40 seconds. I don't think I ever moved that fast in
my life.
It was higher than 0 ^ too.
