Well, we're on to a new adventure. The plumber showed us where the pipe that ties our house into the main sewer line is broken. The fiberoptic cable line is hanging right next to it, and the phone company was in the area a few months back drilling holes and pulling the fiberoptic cables through. The plumber says the phone company almost certainly broke the pipe when they drilled, it just took a while to back up. That pipe also drains from our neighbor's house.
SO, now begins a game called "WHO WILL PAY FOR THE BROKEN PIPE?" :confused:
The plumber didn't try to repair it because it would cost us well over :eek: a thousand dollars, and someone else is at fault anyway.
Hubby called the water company, who supposedly sent a workman by. After the workman :mad: LEFT, is when he phoned us and said it was NOT on their side, so they aren't responsible. :confused:
Hubby then called the phone company and got the run-around for a while, but persevered and they're sending someone out tomorrow or the next day. o_O
In the meantime, we CAN use our water, just don't overload the system and it shouldn't back up again.
Wish us luck!!!!!!:p
