Irrigation mains and separate meters
Larger irrigation systems at commercial sites, schools, parks and association common areas often have their own water service and meter, separate from the building's domestic water. The irrigation contractor installs the heads and zones; the main supply, the meter setting and the backflow protection connect that system to the public water.
Work on an irrigation supply typically includes:
The tap and the meter
A new connection and a meter setting where the water utility allows a separate irrigation meter.
Backflow protection
An assembly installed where the utility requires it, so irrigation water cannot flow back into the public system, with access for annual testing.
The main line
Pipe from the meter to the irrigation contractor's valves, sized for the system's demand, with crossings of drives and walks made by directional drilling where needed.
Repairs
Breaks in the main line, found and exposed with hydro excavation and repaired.
We also handle water service, lateral, storm and conduit work for homeowners, businesses and public owners in Summerville.
South Carolina 811 before excavation
Under S.C. Code Title 58, Chapter 36, excavators submit a locate request to South Carolina 811. South Carolina law (S.C. Code 58-36) requires notice three to twelve full working days before excavation, and a ticket expires 15 working days after the commencement date. Include the exact address, as the town spans more than one county.
