Just an eye opener

what are we looking at?

X2 on the "what are we looking at".

Definitely not obvious. I don't see it either.

Perhaps he thinks the lack of paint on the last three inches of the two post is the result of rain runoff?

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

:):)

I see it now...... wasn't obvious at first. That is unusual.

MM.

Wonder who drilled the hole in the conduit? (With hot wires inside)

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.

Yep, that's a small stream for sure. This one was a little more impressive after hurricane Irene in 2011...

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).
