Water, sewer, electric, gas and data for a new house: what has to be in the ground, in what order and who does which part.
Building a new house involves more underground work than most owners expect. Water must come from the main, sewer must leave by gravity or pump, power and communications arrive from the street or a pedestal, and many homes add gas or propane. Each has its own rules, its own inspector and its own timing.
The smart move is to plan all of it before the foundation is poured. Check where each service connects, how deep it must be, what the utility provides and what the owner must build. A site visit and a simple layout drawing prevent trenches in the wrong place and surprises on the bill.
