Allegheny County Pa.
1- registered master plumber only can install
2- certified flow test
3- plan by design professional that means architect or engineer
4- several water company's will not t off main line you will have to
install a separate water line to house
5- we have major pressure issues her that means pumps and tanks and
fire alarm monitoring of system
yea they can do this all for $3500.00 average WTF who came up with
that assigned figure it will be at least twice that in this county and
that's if pumps etc not involved.
needless to say new housing starts are totally flat in this county for
spring and 84 lumber located in this state just announced more store
closings and layoffs and closing of a truss manufacturing plant.

The number of foreclosures will supposedly hit a peak this year.
