Neighbors hit my water line..

Tips for whoever fixes the line; buy wet or dry glue, use primer, let it sit for at least an hour before turning it back on. Good luck man, at least pvc is easier to fix than other types of pipe.

Im a union plumber and it sounds like you have a shared water service and parish is correct. Anything after the valve in the street (corperation **** if you want to know the real name) is your responsiblty. Do you both have a shared water bill? I need more info and then i can help you more.

Ok well it should be a very easy fix and cheap to do. You will need two unions if you dont think you can spread the pipes apart to glue a pressure coupling together. What size water line is it if you know. You are going to want at least a 1" or 1 1/4. If you want to get more water pressure a roll of flexable water line is the way to go. Its called PE pipe (poly ethalen pipe). Doing it this way will cost you about 200. If it doesnt get real cold then you can just rent a trencher and drop it in the ditch. Hope this helps.

Also if you decide to fix it then get the strongest glue they make and make sure you read the can. It will tell you the dry time on it. Dont use the wet style glue like posted before because that stuff sucks period for pressure joints. The prime step is the most important in the process. The pipe you are going to want to put a small chamfer on it so that when you glue the joint it doesnt push the glue out of the joint. This will keep it on the pipe and not push it into the fitting. This is only a good idea and step to do on a pipe that will see lots of pressure. If possible try to get all the water out of the pipe when you make the connection because the glue will not stick to the pipe.
