Hi All,
I've built a house on some acreage and the previous landowner ran a water line to another part of the property for his home. I'd estimate the total length of his line to be 2,000-2,200 feet with little rise.
The location of my new home branches off from the existing water line around the 1,200 foot mark, then goes another 600 feet uphill 60 or 70 feet. The would make my total run somewhere around 1,800' with a 70' rise at the end.
The existing line worked well, as far as I know, for the 7 or 8 years this person lived on the property, but it has sat dormant the last year and a half.
I'd like to run a new line to my house. What is the best / most cost-effective material and size pipe to use? What additional information do you need to make that determination, if any?
Thank you!
Jason
