The point to understand
Wet ground in settled weather can prompt a supply investigation. Drainage, groundwater and outdoor water use still need consideration.

Describe how the patch changes, where outside taps are connected and any known buried supply. Keep supplier information or previous pipe records available.
Keep the limits in view
