Forgive my ignorance on this subject but I have a leak coming out of what I think is a water regulator on the outside of the house. At first I thought it was leaking from a crack or hole in a rusted area. But after cleaning that hole is a perfectly round hole and looks like it belongs there for some reason. I have uploaded a picture of the fixtures here http://i.imgur.com/tGdqd.jpg.
There is a tag, shown in the photo, that says Wilkens Regulator Company and the house was built in the mid-1960's if thats any help.
My question is why is water spraying out of this hole now, is there anything I can do to fix it or do I need to call a plumber? A couple months ago we got a $2500 plumbing bill for a cracked main pipe so if we can avoid another plumbing bill somehow that would be great.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
