I need to get this settled because in a few weeks, I am going down to the property (Bath NC) and establish a water service to the property and to the dock. I already have the dock piped with 3/4" Schedule 40 pvc. It is time to connect to the water meter, run the water line to the "house" - temporary panel, and then on to the dock. I was told to use 1" pipe to the house then drop to 3/4 for the about 400 foot run to the dock. They said to use 3/4" on that run to increase pressure. This may be the subject for another topic, "Calling All Plumbers".

Please use 1" pvc from the house to the dock. You can increase pressure with a nozzle on your hose, but you cannot increase volume. 1" does not cost much more that 3/4". So little more that you will not regret putting in the larger volume pipe.

Was able to pick up some #4 alum direct burial (1000 feet) and will use that for the 167'run - 4 lengths. Got a good deal on EBay. Thanks for all the advice.
