    Locating buried pvc water lines
    Any way to accurately locate the pvc water lines from a well to the house? The line is about 200 feet long.

    I have heard of pipe locator that works with PVC. Will see if I can locate. What I would do is push stainless fish tape through conduit. Put signal on it and trace through ground. Will show location and depth. Progressive Electronics makes a pair, 1 is antenna probe that hangs from receiver, the other attaches to fish tape.
    About $200.

    Yes, There Is A Way To Accurately Find The Water Lines, Well At Least Two Really Accurate Ways For Me To Find Them In The Past, Make That Three Ways.
    1. Witching, (forked Fruit Tree Limb And A Witcher)
    The Next Two Have Worked Really Well When I Wasn't Trying To Find Water Lines, But None The Less Worked Really Well.

    2. Backhoe

    3. Track Hoe
    Numbers 2 And 3 Are Sure Fire Winners.

    But Seriously If You Can Find A "water Witcher" In Your Area, That Would Work. I Have Done This For People Before In The Past And Was Very Accurate Even Following The Lines For Great Distances. This Is Not Witch Craft I Do Not Want A Rep Of Being An Old Warlock O.k.
