Garden Faucet Leak

One day I noticed that there was a puddle surrounding the garden faucet that appeared to indicate a below-ground leak.  I dug it up and found the part that joins the black, plastic water line that runs from the basement, and the metal riser that protrudes from the ground, broken.  I think Paul may have hit it with the mower and/or the plastic simply deteriorated over time.  I found the same part in town and replaced it.

Dug up.  Black plastic water line visible.




The white plastic piece (with the red tag) is the new piece.  The old one deteriorated.



All put together with rocks at bottom for stability.
Finished!
