I have found It impossible to find even a rough answer to the following question, I'm hoping someone can give me a educated answer or have previous experience.
Our property was built in 2007, 3bed, the mains water pipe comes from a main on the edge of a village 550 metres away. The pipe travels level for 400 metre them drops down a mild hill the last 150 metres to the house.
The pipe is a 50mm pipe all the way then reduces to 32mm for the last 20metres, then connects to to normal 15mm pipe to the house water system.
My question is does this pipe have the capacity to serve 5 additional 4 bed homes if all homes where taped in to the end of 50mm pipe with 32mm or 25mm pipes. If not how many homes would be achievable? Or would the pipe need to be bigger?
An educated answer/ guesses would be highly thanked as I am unable to anything remotely helpful googling it.
Yes I could ask the water board, but they wants plans and money and I'm just brain storming the possibility of development or is it a none starter.
