Digging up a water line can sometimes be difficult especially if it has been a slow leak for a long time and created a muddy mess. @TappPlumbing has found that Polyethylene water pipe is a great product if installed properly. We always use sand to line our ditches the give the waterline replacement extra cushion and protection. Doing your water line this way helps ensure those big rocks or little rocks are not rubbing up against your water line creating holes as we see in this video.
