We’re now getting ready to run the final water and electrical mains to the first house. The trench has been dug the whole way about 1m (~40in) deep. The water main pipe has been laid down, but the HDPE pipe for the electrical won’t arrive for a couple more days. We are actually thinking to add a second water pipe and have 2 HDPE pipes for the electrical wires (only one with actual wires inside). This will give us some redundancy in case we have problems later. The cost of a bit of extra pipe is not much and it would really save a lot of hassle down the road if we need to switch over. We wouldn’t need to do any digging at all.
Here is the final section that goes to the house:
Here is the long run before it turns to the house:
And this is the other end. The main water valve to the house and main electrical box will be here:
