Went to a friends house last night for a party. Been getting together with same people for 40 years. Came home about 1:00, no water! Got up this morning still no water. Called neighbor, he had water. Getting alarmed. Went to barn no water. We are on City water. Went into pantic mode. For a while. Found my temp shoter laser gun. Went out to thr meter finally got top off. Shot meter and pipes in there., they were 26 to 30. Ground was 46. Got the wife?s hair drier and 100 ft extension cord. In a few minutes was in the 80s. Went to barn and had a trickle. By time I got to House a smiley woman was at the door. Pilled hay on meter cover. But found the trouble. The whole cast iron part had slid on the plastic part that?s in the ground leaving a crack about 3/4 in wide on one side. I was worried about electric. Not water. Check your meter or better yet throw something over it. Have a happy new year Vic
