Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak on a water meter. We uncovered the water meter, loosened a yoke attached to the customer's side of the meter, and inspected the yoke's threads and seal. We found that the yoke's seal had been compromised at some point. We contacted the town and had them deliver a new seal. We then installed the seal and reassembled the yoke, being sure to apply thread tape and pipe dope. We tested for leaks with no further issues and covered the meter back up. We also provided a cost estimate to trench a ditch from the water meter to the home and replace the black roll main outside water supply line with new black roll and PEX piping and fittings along with installing a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) and ball water shutoff valve at the water meter.
