I replaced mine almost 25 years ago, and used 1" PVC 18" down. 20' is under the driveway...
Here's something I don't understand. I checked my water bill and it states "Rate Code /Service Size : RES_T_B 3/4 inch".
But the connecting old galvanized pipe (from the house) size to the meter is 1" diam. When it comes out of the concrete it's reduced to 3/4" when connecting to the copper pipe from the house.
I called the water company and the lady just followed my account profile and said I needed a 3/4" pipe connecting to the meter.
But I wonder about the reason the Service Size states 3/4" when the galvanized connecting service pipe size is 1"?
I would put it in an 4" ABS sleeve, so you can change/add pipes.
An ABS sleeve -- for the whole length of the service line from the meter to above the concrete by the house?
