Water supply to my townhouse

Hello All,

I recently moved into a townhouse and I have noticed that there is a pipe (very hard rubber) sticking out of my front yard and entering into the house between the lower end of the brick and the concrete slab. Since its a new build I contacted the builder and asked him what this pipe was. He said it is not electrical and is water to the house. I am a bit concerned and worried that the water supply to the townhouse has been done this way and I have a feeling it is partially buried (not an expert). I have attached a picture so any plumbers/building supervisors can please advice me as to what is legal and the correct way to rectify this problem.





Thank in advance.
Dave

That's standard practice, could have been a bit neater but it's correct

Thanks for the reply. Can you please suggest what could have been done better?

Vertical rise could have been neater, closer to the wall

Thank you for the suggestion. I am thinking of calling out a plumber and see what might be involved to get it done a bit neater as I have some landscaping work that I want to get done.
