Tapping Into the Water Main

Our house did not come with a sprinkler system and so the first outdoor project was to get water to the backyard. This meant tapping into the water main (not a fun project there was any doubt). I decided instead of getting a Gold’s Gym membership I would hand dig the line around our house. The actual pipe which went from the water meter to the house was a good 7 feet deep by the time it was finally exposed.

After exposing the pipe and tapping into it, I had to dig a trench 35 feet long 30 inches deep to wrap around the house where my control box would be. Fun times. Grunt labor at its best.
