Homes and businesses should connect to public water because it provides services that are vital to function and is easily accessible in case of an emergency.

The water main for the city is located on the opposite side of the street from the house. As far as the connection process is concerned, the city water department will tap the main, then drill under the street and set up the water meter.

Detailed Process of Water Connection

The first step here is to tap the main water line. This will be done by drilling a hole in the main water line and inserting a coupling that will connect it to the new water service line.

Once the main line has been tapped, the new water service line can be installed. The water service line is the pipe that connects the main line to the property.

Once the water service line has been installed, the main line is sealed, and the trench is backfilled, which is typically done with sand or gravel, stabilizing the trench and preventing the pipe from moving.

Connecting Your Business to Public Water: The Commercial Aspect

Businesses need reliable water connections for the reasons that follow:

  1. To provide water for employees and customers.
  2. To operate machinery and equipment.
  3. Clean and maintain the business premises.
  4. Comply with health and safety regulations.

Multiple unique aspects of commercial water connection distinguish it from residential water connection. Commercial businesses often require a higher volume and pressure of water, which means the cost will likely be higher. The location of the water meter also differs from a residential area.
