Hi
I understand that there is a water inlet pipe that runs from the road across my drive and into my house. And this of course can be 'upgraded' to a larger calibre.
However I gather there is also the pipe that directly feeds my pipe that belongs to the water company. Obviously if this is a small calibre pipe then upgrading my own pipe is a waste of time.
A couple of questions please?
1) Is it only the water company that can upgrade that supplying pipe?
2) If so, any idea what they would charge and whether I could find out the calibre of that pipe ?(without digging)
3) If I did pay them to upgrade their pipe would they automatically fit a water meter?
4) I had the pipe that goes across my drive upgraded in about 2005, at that time I took little interest in these matters so have no idea what calibre it was. Is there a particular size most plumbers were fitting back then?
Many thanks
