Hey guys, I live in Sarasota, FL and the city is just finishing up plumbing my neighborhood with city water. I am planning on connecting my house to city water so that i avoid the maintenance of the well and the occasional sulfur smell from the well water. The city has so far installed a water meter box (no meter) in the ground and plumbed a water pipe coming form the main water supply into the box.
My question is if it's doable to connect my house to the city water myself (to save money, already poured a ton in it for different issues)? As to my understanding i am obligated to hire licensed FL contractor to install a back-flow and water meter, correct me if i am incorrect on that. After that i am guessing its pretty straight forward digging and basic copper plumbing. Anyone ever done that or have any experience with switching from well to city water?
Thanks.
