Water Line Replacement in South Hill: what is different here

South Hill homes from the 1980s and 1990s may have reached the age where the buried water line, or its fittings, starts to fail. Signs include low pressure and a green, soggy strip on the lawn. We take SR 512 and Meridian, about 15 minutes, and often replace the line through two small holes.
