How much water do you normally use during one sprinkling session?
Get a pressure tank that big and it won't matter what your service
line looks like. Or zone the sprinkler system so that it only drives
half the lines at once. That should be cheaper than a new $2000 main.


When the guy from San Jose Water Company came out to see why water-flow was
inadequate for our new sprinker system he blamed the galvanized steel main
water line, and said he expected a plumber to charge us about $1200 to
replace it (it's about 70 feet from the meter to the house).
So far we've had one plumber come out to give us an estimate, and he first
said $2800, then $2500, and finally $2000.
I'll ask other companies for estimates, of course, but was wondering if
anyone in here has had this work done recently, and how much it ended up
costing.
