GeneralScope creep (plumbing edition) [updated] Pin

So yesterday I could definitely hear the hiss of escaping water under pressure somewhere in the kitchen.
Some tiles lifted later and that confirmed that yes, the inward supply pipe is punctured and water escaping.
Because this is before our own house stopcock I go out to the street to find the external one...and there is none to be found.
So I phoned the council who said there's only one common one for the street, which they can only switch off in the day.
Today they come out to switch it off, only to find it has rusted solid.
So tomorrow some men with a JCB are going to dig up and replace the mains stopcock.

I'm glad this also happens to non IT projects.

[ Update ]
I went to the builders providers and got a stick on temporary repair - yes indeed...I have deployed a patch fix!
