I have to run a water main that's 1500' long with 250' in elevation gain with 180 psi at the meter. I was told by a septic tank guy wanting to run the water line that I'll need a 1" meter and 1" pipe with 3 pumps to have any pressure. I'm not wanting to deal with pumps at all. My local water co. said a 3/4" meter with 1" pipe and no pumps will be plenty. My options for meters are 3/4" $1800, 1" $3100 and 2" $5000. I'm planning on doing myself with HDPE. Also can I run two HDPE lines touching in the same trench or with they wear on each other?
