Smart the way they fixed it with a loop.

Yep. That's more or less what happened. The funny thing is that it's barely under ground, maybe for 12" or so, just enough to go to the pump house which is right next to it.



The loop is something that the plumber recommended that should be done where we've had to repair breaks in the line under ground, but the last time he fixed this same spot, it wasn't him, but was his helper. The loop seems to bounce around a bit when the pump cycles on/off. I will ask them about that, maybe some bracing of some sort to keep it from bouncing, but not so rigid that it causes stress.
