The only other leak due to the freeze other than the main line at the top of the pump.

Can anyone explain why I have 2 hose bibs that are plumbed together? Could these maybe be in series, but if that's the case, why.



And why there's a PVC shutoff at the bottom of one?


This is the only remaining issue with the plumbing. I'd like to replace the PVC with metal so it's less likely to freeze and split. Can you think of any reason why I'd need to put a shutoff valve in place.

FYI, this is no where near the house. This is out by what used to be the barn before it was blown down.

For a bit more info, in case it matters. Just trying to think of a reason why there would be a shutoff in line and those 2 bibs tied together, I wondered if someone wanted to extend the lines, and had made the U-turn and then extended the line from the "bib#1&2" location to the "bib#3" location. Although it still wouldn't explain why they added the second spigot.
