I have worked in many jurisdictions that allowed PVC water service piping, but you need to check with the administrative authority that enforces the Plumbing code (if any) where you live. Yes, most certainly. A recommended pipe would be HDPE Class 16 and size of your choice (i recommend either three quarter inch or one inch pipe for adequate pressure) In most countries, a main line has to be underground, however, as soon as the pipe exists the ground at any given point it has to be non-metallic. As stated above check with your council or municipality regarding any queries regarding what material is allowed and how it must be installed.
Not the geatest idea BUT check local codes CPVC is normally used for hot water applications and is highly toxic
That would depend on local by-laws or standards.
Locate your main water line inside house and shut the water off. Cut pipe and place a tee solder into place. Run your line to exterior of house placing a shut off inside.. Test for leaks..
Condensation? Water coming in is cold this time of year and the house is warm and may have enough moisture in it to collect on the colder pipe.
Supply coming from water source is a water service line.
Because there is a leak in the pipe of the water main.
bec. of the gravity.
Turn off at curb stop to decommission whole house or building. Inside of house or building, turn off valve at main water supply at meter and cut and cap cold water line to be decommissioned.
If it is a plumbing pipe, it probably will. The water line from the meter to the house is the owner responsibility. If it is part of a lawn sprinkler system, it may not be covered.
Water main coming into house usually 3/4" K copper pipe. Depending on local plumbing code, fitting usually is flared or soldered.
Most of the time it is 4 inch.
By a shut off valve connecting it to the main pipe to your apartment or house.
a water main is the main pipe that the city and towns use to move water from place to place. its the main pipe, so if this pipe breaks it can effect a lot of people
Get rid of the entire copper pipe and fit 3/4 PEX from the street main into the house. Cheap and reliable.
