Enough is enough had a leaking water main beneath asphalt parking lot water was rising next to a picket fence. I gave the answer with 42 degrees outside ambient the ground and asphalt was cooler in temp than the city water which averages between 50 and 55 degrees giving the water flow a warmer appearance in IR. I was searching to see if the leak was other than where it was surfacing and it appears that it was. Traveled approximately 20 feet before escaping the asphalt

That's why I asked for the digital pics. How about if we post digital pics first and explain how it might look thermally?
