Just an eye opener
Something you just don't see or notice everyday, LOL
This was the result of a serious rain storm, located at the bottom of a steep hill were we had camped

Well, there’s a small stream of water coming out of what appears to be electrical conduit.
Probably not uncommon for buried utilities. I know the conduit my house service is run in has water in it cause I can see it when I look down into a corner pull-box location where the conduit comes up above the ground.
It’s fine, it’s all fine! :W

This...^^^ I'm not an electrician, but install, dig up and tie in conduits for bug chit...it's all full of water, even when encased in concrete ( high voltage stuff ). As the movie security guard always says, "keep moving, nothing to see here..."jetboater454 wrote:

- It's essentially an artesian spring...though likely to dry up shortly after the rain ends.
Electrical conduits are not typically designed to be water proof. It's more about protecting the cable from damage and allowing easier to install new lines (assuming it doesn't simply terminate below the surface). - Yep, that's a small stream for sure. This one was a little more impressive after hurricane Irene in 2011...
- Those conduits most likely terminate a few inches underground and then it's direct buried wire. The sky is not falling. I have seen underground transformer and distribution vaults in downtown Buffalo NY completely full of water up to the sidewalk level access openings.
- Wonder who drilled the hole in the conduit? (With hot wires inside)
- I see it now...... wasn't obvious at first. That is unusual.
