A good friend has a water leak somewhere between the house and the supply -

going round (hopefully slowly) how bout some ideas the keep the back from
going out chasing the thing down. Money is short for the guy so the sweat
equity will probably be high. Thanks Pat

If you know where the line runs, one could take a pipe probe (or a
sharpened metal rod) and begin probing the ground along the line.
If it comes up muddy, start digging.
