Frozen water main - suggestions?

Also, dig up your home purchasing paperwork and check the disclosures from the previous homeowner. They must have known about this.

Whomever you pay your water bill to. Should be Denville water Dept. I believe the town runs their own system.

Denville doesn't do it. It's the country. MUA limbo... And since the previous homeowner was a bank and this was a foreclosure, there aint a lot of recourse on that front. Still waiting on the insurance guy...

Whoops, Denville does. Some wires got crossed (in my head). Waiting to hear back from the superintendent...

Well, I should say the kind of trencher the avg. Contractor has is useless on rock. A small trac-ho is way more versatile.
 
break up the rock and sell it as little souvenirs! years from now people can pick up their rock and look back fondly on these memories... well, everyone except @seanrunnette
 
We're going the other way! As of tomorrow, we turn our back on the 50' trench and all the exploratory digging on top of the rock shelf, and head toward Lake Road, where there's some faint hope that we can avoid any more rock shelves, and get a curb service installed for the quite reasonable sum of 1600 bucks-ish, plus whatever it costs to burn through 4 days of x2 dozers. Mind you, we may have to wait til April for the curb service. In which case, we put in a temporary copper line back to the original meter pit on Summit Rd., wrap that in heat tape and pray we don't get too many more cold days. No hardship variance, no luck.
OTOH, we now have a 4' trench running almost the width of the property. In case of Germans.
 
drill hole thru rock, install pipe thru hole?

install pipe under rock?

add 4 more 90s to plumbing run and go around rock?

it's a rock shelf. Dunno that it HAS a bottom.

Gas line, plus the rock shelf seems to run all the way through the property lengthwise. There's a line of rock 30-50' wide covered with 12" of soil from the driveway to our neighbor's place. Fooked.
