Good afternoon gentlemen--after receiving a gigantic water bill, I've found a leak at the connection to my lawn hydrant.

I need to reseal the threads at the joint where the metal hydrant spigot connects to the PVC street-pressure water line. 
 

My only prior experience is with interior plumbing.  Whats the best solution to seal pipe threads in a high-pressure, underground environment?

Good call -- i found a crack at the base of the threads, so I had to cut off and install a new adapter.
