Corroded water pipe leaking

On 12 Dec 2014 I reported a water leak from the main water supply. After much trouble I had to obtain a company on the 13 Dec detecting the leak and do an emergency repair as the Emergency Service of ?utsurance could not obtain anyone as it was \\after hours\. I was told by the plumber that the water feed line is totally corroded and need rerouting of the pipe\""
