Leaking Water Main Connection

This leak was coming from the blue connection at the pipe.

Care has to be taken in these situations as all the services supplying a house generally come in at the same point. Not deathly to cut through a live cable. On exposing the join water was spraying from the blue connection at the pipe. After cutting the pipe to remove the connection and check the rubber seal, I quickly recognised that the join wasn’t fully inserted onto the pipe, as you can see in the picture, when the join was fully pushed home, it left a considerable gap. After replacing a section of pipe and turning the water back on, it was good as gold.
