Hi,

I recently had landscaping done. The area around the valves and the water
main is now perpetually wet. I'm trying to get the landscaper to fix it,
as I observe the following:

1) the top of one of the valves is wet. the two adjacent valves are not.
2) the pipe leading from the valve to the ground is wet.

The only symptom that I see that does not point at the valve being the
culprit is that the valve in question is not in the center of the moist
area.

The landscaper insists that the valve is fine, and he suspects that the
water main is the problem (and that I should have a plumber take a look at
it). Any advice?

Thanks,
Tony
