When I first looked at this job, it was raining, so the issue of ground water wasn't. But it was, big time. We had to build a dam and use a pump in order to reconnect to the water meter. Sounds easy, but it ate up the man hours. The ground itself was more rock than dirt, too. It took a crew of three over 20 hours (60 hours total) to get it done, but it got done.
The old water service (the pipe from the water meter to the house) was a patch work of pvc, poly, copper, galvanized steel, and brass ranging in size from 1/2" to 1-1/2" in diameter. Now it's all one kind and size from the meter to under the house.
There are some very happy tenants in Alger, Washington.
