What Is a Water Main?

A water main is the primary pipe that carries potable water from the municipal supply or private well into your property. It connects to your home’s internal plumbing and delivers water to fixtures like faucets, showers, toilets, and appliances. A malfunctioning water main can lead to low water pressure, leaks, contamination risks, and significant water waste.

Water mains vary in size and material, often made from:

  • Copper

  • PVC

  • Ductile iron

  • Polyethylene (PEX for newer lines)

Understanding your water main type is crucial for proper maintenance and repair. Hydro Plumbing technicians are skilled in assessing all types of water mains to ensure optimal performance and long-term reliability.
