"Depends on where it has to go, normally first to a suitably placed interior stop cock, then this will connect to the house plumbing"

"If nothing is currently in place you will need to dig a trench from the entry point in your house to the location of the external stopcock. At an appropriate depth to meet requirements. You will then need to run a blue water pipe of appropriate diameter from the external stopcock to your internal stopcock. Protect the water pipe if there is a risk of impact. (garden fork etc)."

"You could either trench out or get a new supply pipe moled in, which means less excavations and pits dug to receive the mole to pull a new blue pill pipe through.
If there are other services I would trace them out to ensure that you don't damage,hit them.
Just make sure supply is moled or trenched to regulations depth."

"You need to dig a trench from your boundary to your home, an entry point into your property and a route to where you require your new stop cock.

The trench will need inspecting by the water board and a sleeve putting on the pipe as it passes through boundaries.

The water board will connect for you free of change under the lead replacement scheme if you currently have a lead main. Contact your water supplier for more info. Any plumber/buikder should be able complete the works for you"
