We have an apparent "dead-end" water main running straight through our front yard and up to an old easement on the street behind us approx. 3m above our ground level. We've had some heavy flooding coming from within the retaining wall, Council believes it has nothing to do with the water main and must be a neighbours leak (Neighbours have seen no issues with water, and I've personally been there checking their water meter).
Plumbers, builders, and a surveyor all believe it's the council water main problem. Council have said "there seems to be some sort of step-up elbow bend in the water main here".
Any ideas?
