Last night I went to turn the water on outside when we got back to the campsite and had a major blow out like I broke a water main. I'm at Cherry Creek State Park in Colorado. Their spigots have the handles that get pulled straight up. I pulled straight up and the entire head piece (cap) to the ground pipe came off. I had 3" deep water flowing across the ground as it was gushing in the dark. I called the nonemergency number given on the park paper for the police who in turn contacted a park ranger. I kept trying to get water to stop while I waited. Finally, I stood on the head piece (cap) and drove it back into place. The water stopped. I tried to fasten the set screws but two out of three were missing and the third had nothing to attach to. The ranger arrived a little while later.
The police dispatcher and ranger were both outstanding and professional.
