Getting Copper Service Into House

[Quantum]

I've just bought a house that was vacant for 11 years and extensively vandalized. I'm now working on plumbing but could not find where the service was in the house.

When I got the meter unlocked I found water bubbling up outside, beside the daylight basement. I dug it up and there was a 3/4" copper line, broken off near the foundation. This is my service from the meter.

What is the Code-compliant (UPC) way to get this into the basement to attach to my PEX-A system? Can I drill a hole in the concrete basement wall above-ground? It would be very difficult below-ground because of the footers. I will be inspected.

Is an outside cutoff required? (besides the meter)

I would check with your local jurisdiction. It would also depend on your climate. Here in Northern Va you have to be at least 30" down (below the frost line).

Thanks, but they're all closed.

I'll make something up since no one else knows.
