Typically if there is an existing water service line from the water main to the meter, the
water service line/meter will not be the appropriate size and a new tap will be required. The

revise plans to include the following:
a. Please add a note that a 1" meter is to be installed. Add standard detail to plans.

pipe exceeds 20% the pipe will need to be anchored.
5) Please add a note "The existing side sewer will need to be TV'd by the contractor and video
