[QUOTE="Horticattleman, post: 396095, member: 3852"] Most municipal water services will allow you to put up to a 1 1/2" meter for the same cost based on need. I would say 1/2 mile is need. I would request a 1" meter at the least. With a 1" meter you could probably get away with 1 1/2" - 2" pipe. MikeC You're absolutely right, the class 200 PVC has a smaller ID and therefore can carry more water. Sure Sch. 40 is heavier and thicker, but Class 200 is rated for uugghhh 200 psi! Doubt you'll exceed that and the cost is soooo much less. Round here we buy class 200 for around .15 / ft. and sch 40 for round .45 /ft. Big difference. We buy it in lifts of 5500' and that helps on price. [/QUOTE]
