New Water Line

We needed to run a new water line into the mechanical room to feed the entire house. The connection to the street main and a new water meter have been completed by a contractor that I hired.Here is the new meter box and water line from the sidewalk. You can see it going into the sleeve in the background which takes it through the concrete wall and down towards the lower level of the house.
Of course I decided I did not want to cross the sewer line with the water line when it enters the house, so I had to roto-hammer a new hole through the foundation wall ;-( Not too bad really. You can see the black rectangle at the left, where I placed a 4" sleeve in the foundation for the water line originally. The green box sits on top of the sewer line, which runs from the far end of the house past the camera to connect with the city service. The new 1" water line at the right is going through the "new hole" and runs along the tall foundation wall over to the mechanical room.
