This is the only area that's wet. I dug and installed the only two water hydrants on this property. I dug around and from the meter and there's only one line coming from it. Time to ask the neighbor about wells is this area.

Spring?

I have a green spot in my yard and have ensured it is not due to a leak on my end.

I've come to the conclusion it is either a spring or a leak in a city owned line.

This pipe and this valve were where this cinder block is, I relocated the pipe to protect the hydrant. When I had the excavator out here I dug a white pvc pipe that was going in the direction of this wall. It broke off while digging so I just covered it up. So many unknowns out here, if I buy an excavator I'll dug up every pipe I find.

I found this pipe under the windows where a water line goes into the shop. I'm not digging too much with a shovel. This area hasn't been wet until after I cut this black poly line. Pipe is a solid hex.

Black poly may be part of a drip irrigation/sprinkler system. May only come on (and 'leak') for a few minutes a day.
No sprinklers out here, I've run all electrical circuits for the shop. No timers either. There's a box in the in the middle of the property with a water spigot(and snake skins). There was a mobile home here at some point in time. Septic tank under cinder block.
