Underground Water Storage Tank Leaking - Advice Needed
Discussion
It would seem since moving into our new house 6 months ago I post more in this section than the car sections 
So.... I've got a water well which supplies a tank submerged under the ground. I started to notice some water sitting on the grass last week and tonight I dug down a little to see what was going on.
Now I've no experience of this type of setup after a series of new builds. As you can see, quite a lot of water sitting, but it's most definitely not coming from the lid. In fact, the water level inside the tank is a good 1ft+ lower than outside.
I went another 3 or 4 metres away from the tank and dug down, no evidence of water at the same water level.
I tested the buoyancy thingy and it's working just fine, it's not overfilling the tank.
Anyone know what's going on? What level are the in and out's generally on these types of tanks? I can only assume that's where it's leaking....
