Why not stick with black poly? Can't the leaking spot be repaired? I
would guess that the leak is at a fitting that can just be replaced.

The pipe is 5ft deep, so I don't see repairing it myself. The township
guy who came to shut off the water said that some people do just patch
but often end up having to redo it every couple of years.

Buried 5' !!! Yow! I live in North Alabama, and our frost line is
about 14 inches deep; although after this winter that may get
redefined.

Any indication of what causes the black poly to fail so often. I've
never heard of it failing except at a connection, and that is usually
due to settling.
