Broken Reticulation Trigg

A resident of Trigg rang with a problem with their reticulation system. It was about 30 years old and was losing pressure to the front verge. The reticulation sprinklers were hardly popping up.

After locating the front solenoid valves we found the 25 ml PVC pipe was disappearing into a mass of tree roots. It looked like the roots had crushed some of the reticulation pipes.

There was lots of hard yards digging and cutting roots to solve the problem.
