Getting ready to start on my home build, and have two options for water supply from the council, and was looking for guidance as to what I am better getting.
The area is trickle feed water, used to top up the rainwater tanks.
My block is a sloping block, with the house around 10-15m higher than the road level.
House is around 100m up the hill from the road.
I will be using 25mm piping from the output regardless of the meter.
The two options are
20mm standard domestic water connection $1414.41 and
25mm standard domestic water connection $1603.32
Don't mind too much the extra cost for connection, but the quaterly charge for the 25mm is 1.5625 times the 20mm.
The question I have for the plumbing type people is, taking in to account my location where it is trickle feed and my house level is around 10 - 15m above the road level is there any real benefit to pay the extra ?
Will the 25mm meter allow better flow when/if the water tank runs low enough to require topping up ? or am I just kidding myself, and would be better just sticking with the 20mm meter ?
