worked 30+ years in the municipal water industry there is no way of locating a
PVC pipe. I have seen a system that when attached to a fire hydrant or a faucet
will induce a sonic signal into the pipe by creating a resonating sound into
the water. The theory is to pick up the sound with a receiving device. It wasn’t
very accurate though. All locating equipment relay on the ability to transmit a
signal through the pipe. PVC will not relay any signal. <span

find your pipe will be to dig it. Sorry.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>
