Thanks for reporting! We went out to investigate the issue this morning, and we could not verify the source of the water, whether it coming from the claimed residence or from a nearby local spring or natural runoff. We notified the residence about our current outdoor water use regulations. Our next step in this process is to take a water sample. This will determine if the water is potable (treated drinking water) or source/ground water.

We will leave this issue open until then and will report our findings to you once we have them.

UPDATE: On 10/29 we went out to 1024 Sandhurst to collect a water sample from the leak of the curb. Our water treatment lab then analyzed it for fluoride, a common chemical found in tap water, and found the sample contained comparable levels of flouride (0.92 mg/L while a tap water sample taken from our treatment plat had 0.96 mg/L). They also checked for water conductivity, which they found that the sample taken was roughly 3 times as conductive than usual levels found in tap water.

From these results, we concluded that the water from the curb of 1024 Sandhurst is most likely potable tap water, it has just traveled some distance explaining its higher level of conductivity. The actual source of this leak is still unknown, and we will further investigate that these next few days. The property owner will be notified.

Hello,

We apologize for not responding! This issue has been resolved. We've contacted the property owner about the water coming from a pipe extending from their backyard in the sidewalk.

This sidewalk pipe was installed by the neighborhood developers for natural springs to runoff the hillside. But we'll continue monitor the sidewalk to see if the water continues to runoff.
