om...
Whats the largest bore water pipe you can connect to the house from
the mains and how deep does it have to be buried? i.e. can I bury it
nearer the surface it is in a protected position, like right by the
side of my footings about 18 inches down?


You can go as big as you like ... but for a domestic house as long as you
have normal pressure and a typical run. the water authority will probably
limit you to 25mm.

If you push them they may give you 32mm.

In any event the depth of the pipe is 750mm
