We Have Connections

On Friday the water and sewer to the new house were connected.  Below are pictures of the connection to the water main.  The man in the first picture is tapping into the water main in order to connect the line going to the house.  He did not want me to take his picture, so naturally when he was not looking I took it.  The reason for the double connection is that the only size valves the water company uses going into the main are 3/4 inch while the pipe going into the house is one inch. This guy says he does six or seven of these a day.  Seems like purchasing one inch valves would save the water company a lot in labor costs.

The yellow pipe is the gas main.
