Here's an idea, water leaks have been an ongoing issue, thinking the town acquire a subsurface leak detector, start a Go-Fund-Me (Go-Fund-Us, "us" as in JT residents) account.
I'll chip-in for sure.
Here's an example of leak detection equipment. (link below). Now figuring out which detector would best suit our needs would take some research. Anyone know of someone in the water main plumbing business that could suggest such a device?

It appears the current leak(s) are significant (higher flow=more noise), that would lead me to think a lower tech detection method might be plausible, using an audible detection method such as a mechanics stethoscope, start at each fire hydrant and listen. I'll see if I can source one or more locally today and bring back to town this evening after work (see link below). I use one at work all the time, works great, but it has my ear germs on it, so....:O)
