Any input would be appreciated, especially on how long this job might
take and
what kind of connection would be at the water meter side.

Thanks.

I am working on a bid for replacing a water line from the house to the
water meter.

62 feet

Require rental of "ditch witch", existing line is 3 feet deep

Owner says code requires only 18 inches deep with copper pipe

10 of those feet would require removal of stepping stones and small
pieces of concrete
