Hello,
My wife and I are planning to build a house starting this Spring. We have land, and will be building a good ways from the main road (about .5 miles). We are interested in running all utilities underground, like you would see in some housing developments, but I don't know where to start regarding cost, who could do this work, legalities, etc.
For example, I've heard that it's against the law to run water and electric in the same ditch, but you can do it if you have it compartmentalized... Does anybody out there have experience with running utilities in this way, and if so, could you let me know where to start?
Thank you,
Josh
