What is This Blue Wire on a Water Main?

Explaining what this seemingly random loose blue wire is sticking out of the ground on your water main riser or inside your house. Tracer wire is used to locate a nonmetallic water service line from the water meter to the water riser or wherever the water enters the home so that a utility company can locate the lines. They use a wire tracer to detect where the tracer wire runs underground to help mark the lines so you know where you shouldn’t dig, OR where to dig if you need to make a repair or replace the water main. Details on why this is an IMPORTANT step and the GOOD news on what it tells you about your plumbing.
