About a week ago my water stopped coming into house. This is another fix
upper which I shut the water off when I leave. This was at the end the
extreme Cold spell average zero, two weeks ago. been looking for water each
day inside.

There is no dripping out of inside shutoff ball valve. I listened to pipe,
no sounds. No visible outside water accumulation. I'm trying t find the
outside shutoff, since some gravel was added, and now iced up. Today I
pushed plastic tubing thru ball and feed pipe. I think it went all the way
to outside shutoff.

Next week calling water company after I locate shutoff. Mystified. In see a
cutout of laid asphalt across street. Blue arrow on top. The gas and water
lines were marked by first call in the fall. I had to get new gas lined
installed about 15 foot or less.

That sounds like totally no fun. NYS is doing
the deep freeze again, and we should be down
to about 5F tonight. I'm planning to leave the
hot dripping at my kitchen sink. But, that does
not sound like an option for you, if your line
is frozen.

Around here, I think water dept uses blue paint,
yellow for natural gas lines.

I hope you don't have a burst line, and that
things work out for you when it warms up.


Be a long wait for warmth. Im mentally unstable. I'm tired of cleaning snow
and ice off car, cleaning driveway, huddled in living room with space
heater. I got cabin fever. Wish I was in a cabin so I could play with fire.
