[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 984159, member: 4362"] What I would do is to install a cut off valve if you don't already have one in the lines that go to the garage and the barn and turn them off. If the meter is running then you know its the line from the meter to the house otherwise you can at least isolate where the leak is by turning off valves and seeing what the meter does. Once I isolated the area of the leak I'd take two coat hangers and rig yourself two L's that you can use to witch the water lines. By turning the water on, the coat hangs should cross when you cross the pipe. Mark the pipe each time. Once you've marked the lay of the pipe spend some time looking closely or even using a probe to see if you can't locate the wet spot so you don't have to dig the whole thing up. My bet is its near a tree where the roots pulled the joint. Don't take much water to loose 49,000 gallons and unless its wet weather you will never see it. Good luck [/QUOTE]
