One of the true joys of owning a house in a well-regulated suburb is that you don't have to worry about your neighbor painting their fence Pepto-Bismol pink because they don't like you. (Ask me how I know this.)
One of the not-so joys of suburban living is that you too have to follow rules. Today's case in point is that the faucet for my outside hose has an anti-siphon device, as required by city ordinance. Alas, said device has now failed, becoming a water fountain instead. So, I have to replace the device. Per Home Depot, these devices are not interchangeable, and they only sell one brand, which is not the brand that I need.
One of the joys of living in a townhouse is that my neighbor has the exact same outside faucet. The faucet on this device tells me it's a Mansfield anti-siphon device. (Mine does not have any useful outside markings on it.) Via that Source of All Knowledge, Google, I have found a place to order a replacement device. (Fingers crossed that it's the right one.)
More updates as events warrant.
