Attn homeowners and home buyers. Find out asap the age of the main water line...

as if it ruptures you are responsible for fixing it as homeowner's insurance doesn't cover it and the local water company's responsibility stops at the curb.

About 3 weeks ago I got a letter, on paper with red ink, that there was a continuous flow issue at my house. My bill went from around $50 a month to some $300 a month. The letter suggested it could be as little as a running toilet or a leaking faucet inside or outside not completely turned off.

That got my attention and I immediately checked every toilet and faucet inside and out. The only thing was one toilet tank had a leak on the bottom (a washer needed to be replaced) where I had put a pail until I could get my home warranty people to fix it. I. thought that was the leak so I turned off the water to that toilet and called the water company to see it that was the problem.

It wasn't, there was still continuous flow as I spoke to the water co. employee ...multiple gallons a day.

I had to hire a leak detection company and they found that the main water line had indeed ruptured and it was going to cost thousands to fix. I had to bite the bullet and get it done. The leader of the group gave me a bit of info on water main lines. They usually last about 20 years at best and my house is 18 years old. I was responsible.

THE ADVICE HE GAVE ME was it's best to get the main water line insurance when buying a house as it could save you multiple thousands of dollars if it breaks. We're talking up to 10k. It's mentioned in the reams of paper you have to check off and sign when buying but no one, not even your own RE agent mentions/stresses it.

It's a concern for tenant too if the landlord doesn't pay the water bill.

It certainly is business as usual as invading other countries...

is what they do — Hungary in 1956, Czoslovakia in 1968, Afghanistan in 1979, Cheznya in the late '90s, Georgia in 2006, eastern Ukraine in 2014 and western Ukraine last year, 2022.

My God, that's all they do, every decade just about like clockwork. They've already signaled their intent to "merge" with Belarus and they are also infiltrating and undermining Muldova's systems.

What monsters. Poland and the Baltic countries should be very worried as Alexandre Dugin, the deconstructionist Russian philosopher has been whispering in Putin's ear of a Russian empire from the Atlantic to Vladivostok.

Russia already spans 11 times zones but that's apparently not enough. What's funny is they expect to do all that with that third-rate army.

I absolutley believe Rep. Raskin. I just wish AG Garland would take action.

So many obvious crimes with no need to appoint special counsels...just indict already on the piles of stolen docs found at MAL, and the continued obstruction of justice refusal to return them.

That's low-hanging fruit.

IMO he hasn't proven he's up to the job. It's more than two years since J6, many obvious crimes, no indictments. Come on, at least pluck the low-hangers to show something is being done, then come back for more as evidence is developed.

Again, come on, trump led/encouraged AN 'EFFIN' TELEVISED ATTEMPTED COUP on the US government and none of the big wig republican ringleaders have been indicted more than two years later.
