Where's the Water? November 2008

With the pipe lengths all connected from the source to the destination, we ran down to the end to see our water flowing out. Waiting, waiting, waiting; the water became visible at the mouth, but didn't pour out. Darn! Decided to wait until morning. Still no water! Mike and Randy got their heads together and realized that in the entire length of pipe through the trench, there are several high spots that would allow air to become trapped, thereby restricting the flow. Seven release valves later: the air was permitted to escape, valves shut down, and eureka! WATER came out of the end of the pipe.
