Actually, some didn't.
And the builder was known for not cutting corners.

We have the same depths here, Marcel. I thought his little dig the the street was cute.

If I had to bury the lines 6-8 feet deep, I would have called someone else to do it while I sat by my pool drinking Margaritas.

Actually, the main line is 16 inches deep. Those other lines are my sprinkler system and in the picture of the leaking pipe, my neighbors sprinkler system!
I informed him that I have found yet another one of his heads which is actually buried on my property. It was capped off.
