Water supply installation is the process of connecting a public water main to a property which needs to meet strict UK standards. L&R Water Services are skilled and experienced water supply installers in Yeovil. We’ve had the privilege of working with property developers, homeowners and landlords over the years and water supply installation is actually more common than you might think. Let's arrange a site survey so we can conduct a risk assessment and assess the properties water requirements.
What happens during a new water supply installation in Yeovil?
L&R Water Services help clients establish the first steps in setting up a new water supply. This includes evaluating daily water usage and making sure a risk assessment has been conducted. Next, we map out routes around existing systems such as gas and electricity. Using a range of techniques such as digging trenches or trenchless moling, we install the distinct blue MDPE pipes at the required depths, typically at least 750mm to stop pipes from freezing. Internal and external stop valves are installed next. Final stages include intense testing to make sure installation meets Water Fittings Regulations. It's a very similar installation process when working on a property which is being split into individual flats. We got to do just that at a Victorian detached property at The Avenue, Yeovil. A few additional stages on this project included planning for mechanical meters for each individual flat and splitting internal branch pipes to go through each meter.
What requirements does a new water supply installation need to meet?
MDPE or Medium Density Polyethylene must be installed when laying a new water supply. The distinct blue pipes are robust, durable and flexible and are the standard during installation. The team has been working on new water supply installations for years so we’re familiar with requirements such as the 270 - 350mm gap between other utilities such as gas if in the same trench. With the project at The Avenue, Yeovil, we reassured the developer about the water meter at each individual flat being isolated for any maintenance purposes. This would avoid shutting water off to the whole property and was easily achieved through installing isolation valves before and after each individual meter.
