I am putting in a new water service to my acreage property including a new council meter.I need to travel a distance of 300 metres with the polypipe to the house.
Can anybody tell me what size polypipe and rating I would need to travel this distance and also the size of the connection at the council meter.
Obviously the council charge higher rates for a larger connection so I need to go as big as possible but not overkill.
I would hope to have a fairly decent pressure at the house
Any help much appreciated
 
This would vary depending on water pressure in your area. I would reccomend you contact your water department and ask them for their advice.
 
I agree with Havasu.

My parents have a standard 5/8" meter going into 2" PVC pipe back 1000' to the house and back down to 1/2" or 3/4". Never had any problems with water pressure.
