[GBlist] finding a leak in a water line?



We're losing approximately 100 gallons/day between our well/pressure tanks
and the house.  The water line is your basic 1" (or thereabouts) PVC
buried underground over sandstone.  I am mystified that this quantity
hasn't showed up in some for at the surface.  We suspect the leak has
existed for more than a month, maybe two.

Any tips on how to troubleshoot (and ideally fix) this, without digging up
the whole line?

Thanks.

Reuben Deumling
