A lot of different things can happen to irrigation hose and sprinklers. Sprinklers get stepped on, run over, stopped up, have snails on them or in them, or they just flat don’t work. And the lines get chewed up by thirsty coyotes. We cure that by putting buckets of water out for them so they’ll leave the lines alone. When we irrigate after a pick we’ve sometimes replaced more than 200 sprinklers that have been stepped on by the pickers. That’s just unavoidable.

Then there are days like today. The pump started perfectly and ran perfectly, something it hasn’t done in years, but that’s another story. But then the piping coming out of the pump started blowing water fifteen feet in the air.
