I am based out of Downers Grove and focus on the western and southwestern suburbs of the city.  

The area I'm working in is the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh (eastern Allegheny County and western Westmoreland County).

The western side of CT has all of the money and expensive housing.

Our first contractor argued with the city until he was blue in the face that a 2-3 inch line would more than suffice for connecting water to our property.Please keep in mind that our house was sandwiched between two empty lots (in a burn area) so that if/when the lots were developed, they could tie into the line that we put in.I'll try to use an example of ABC to shed more light on it.Lot A was the undeveloped lot located directly South of our lot and was also the lot that was next to the road.Lot B was our lot with the subject house.Lot C was the undeveloped lot located directly North of our lot.All three lots shared a common dirt road (if I would even call it that) running South to North along the Western side of the properties.
