I just talked to the water service department and they said that there is no monthly difference in billing price between the 1" and 1 1/2" meter. Just the inital cost of the meter is different. They also told me that the output side of the meter would have 70lbs of pressure. I guess there is a 5lb drop somewhere between the main, which is 75lbs, and the meter output, which is 70lbs. The Net elevation change is +38' from the meter to the shower valve on the second floor. From where the 1/2" copper comes off of the 3/4" copper feed line in my basement, There are 6 elbows in the 1/2" copper to the shower valve. I don't ever see a situation where I would run the shower head and rain head at the same time. I do think I will run the rain head and 4 body sprayers at the same time. Just me and my wife in the house, so there probably wont be a lot of other fixtures being used at the same time as the shower. Maybe a toilet flushing and a faucet to wash hands afterwards. Dishwasher is always run in the middle of the night while we are in bed. I hope this helps answer any questions still open. You guys are great. Thank you so much for all the help.
