If you're in Olalla dealing with where is my water line, start with the ground: peat in the Olalla Creek valley under small farms near Burley, and lines that are often 1970s and 80s polyethylene gone brittle. That combination explains why a soft green stripe across a pasture shows up the way it does here, and it shapes how we find the cause.

The likely causes here

In Olalla we check trees and large shrubs before anything else, because a far hydrant with no pressure is how it shows up here. Planted over a line today, root-wrapped and leaking in fifteen years. Peat in the Olalla Creek valley makes the signs misleading, so we confirm rather than assume.

Next: a new property with no drawings. The previous owner knew; you don't. With outwash that drains and hides leaks under wooded acreage on Banner Road, the symptoms can look identical to the first cause, which is why the meter test and the locate matter.

Finally, a fence, deck or patio going in. Posts and footings go exactly as deep as a shallow service line. Worth five minutes before anyone digs bluff clay on Colvos Passage.

What to check first

From there it's a correlator across a long pasture run and a ground microphone at the break.

Do this before anyone digs bluff clay on Colvos Passage in Olalla: look for old photos, permits or a septic as-built that show lines. Find the meter, the point of entry, the shutoffs and any valve boxes. It takes minutes and it tells us whether the problem is on waterfront on Colvos Passage or inside the house.
