Check for ground moisture around the line of your water pipe. Also check with
neighbour to see if a common fault exists. For further information phone Council
on 03 520 7400.
Aggressiveness of the water sometimes leaches copper out of copper pipe
fittings. New treatment measures (eg; addition of lime) should greatly reduce
this effect. Phone Council on 03 520 7400 for more information.
