Water line and temp

Maybe, you won't know until you apply pressure and check for flow. Steve

Why would someone deliberately flex a pipe they suspected was frozen? Of course it could have caused damage. You won't know until it thaws.

I don't know how many hundreds of feet of pipe you had to run, but you've had weeks since you started; 'seems like burying it as Winter neared would have been a priority. It's too late to cry over now, either way.

I did not flex the pipe I was starting to fill the ditch with dirt and hand tamping areas around the pipe when I noticed the sound which caused me to investigate further.

The reason it took so long is I have to work totally alone and I had to run three other lines of consuit in the same ditch which took time. I also only had a few days off work and weekends.

So, what you're saying is the pipe was not fully supported in the ditch.... OhhhhKay... (stryped, that sort of translates to "flexing a pipe you suspected was frozen".)

As to your schedule -- eh... everybody with a job has that sort of schedule. The trick is to _plan_ critical tasks so they get done in time to dodge the grasp of the grim reaper. A lack of foresight may have cost you re-doing the job.
