How do you ground a 200 amp service with no water main?
You need two forms of grounding according to the code. Grounding to the water main is typically the best ground in a building. If you don't have a water meter you can add an extra ground rod.
Where is a smart meter installed?
A smart meter is typically installed at the point where the electrical, gas, or water service enters a building. For electricity, it’s usually placed near the main electrical panel. For gas and water, it is installed at the entry points of the respective services into the property.
Purpose of electrical drip loop?
On an overhead service, during periods of rain, water will run along the overhead service wires. Water would run in to the service riser and in to the top of the meter, the drip loop allows the water to drip off of the conductors instead of running in to the meter.
What size water line would you need if you are building a new apartment building with 6 units and a 3 washer laundry room it is 50' from the meter to the building?
If you have a 1" meter a 2" line will do you no good. Use the same diameter as the as the capacity of the meter. A 2" supply would work well.
What is service in a building?
A building service is a system or infrastructure within a building that provides essential facilities such as water, electricity, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. These services are crucial for the functioning and comfort of the occupants within the building.
What psi water pressure should be given for 33 meter height building?
1000000 ml
How do you save money on your ladwp bill?
In 1996 the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation made available through a municipal code Sec. 64 program called the Sewer Service Charge Relief Program. This program allows residential and commercial property owners the right to purchase a second water meter or water sub meter from DWP. The purpose of this sub water meter is to meter actual usage of water brought into the building or installed on the irrigation waterlines for calculation of the sewer service charge (SSC). This SSC charge is currently estimated if no water sub meter has been purchased. The savings can be as high as 80% off of the sewer service charges located on page two of a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power bill. I called California Utility Services 800-400-1727 and they did it all for me. I am now saving $130.00 every bi-monthly bill. They were professional and reasonable.
What is water supply water pipe?
Supply coming from water source is a water service line.
Can you increase water pressure by changing your water meter?
you might depending on how big of a service meter you have,if not you can change the pressure demand valve or pressure regulator depending on whats in your home. actually, increasing the size of the meter (and perhaps the water service line from the main to the home) will provide more flow. The pressure won't change unless there's some sort of regulator as mentioned above. If the static pressure (with no water running on the service) is good and decreases markedly when you run water (that'd be dynamic pressure) you might see an improvement by upsizing the meter and service line. If the static pressure is low and there are no pressure regulators in the line you're sort of stuck with what the utility is providing, unless there's a problem on their end. Where we are the state only requires 20 psi at the meter - if your home is upslope or distant from the meter it may cause difficulties.
How do you decommission a cold water pipe?
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.
When the Breaker panel wet inside and no sign of water above box?
In most cases, water is entering through the the rubber compression gasket at the top of the meter where the service wire enters the meter. Have power company turn off power and have electrician replace compression gasket and add Ge silicone around top of compression nut. Also add silicone where the service wire exits the meter at the bottom of meter around wires to stop water entering the sheathing of the service wire. Inspect door gasket and dome lock to stop wind driven rain and snow.
If you reverse the flow on a water meter will it turn the meter backwards?
Yes, a water meter will run backwards. Running your meter backwards is stealing and could result in your service being diconnected and or a fine. Modern meters that are read via radio signals are sofisticated electronic instruments and will report leaks and reverse flows when read. So if your meter is a radio read type you had better not mess with it.
