House was built in 1952. Upon purchasing in 1991, I've changed all the under house plumbing to copper, however, I've yet to change the underground water line feed from the water meter to the house. The old piping which was removed under the house was galv pipe and about half full of sediment (aka clogged). Once it was removed the water pressure went up (to say the least): pressure today runs about 90 psi. The water company has been in the area changing out their water pipes to the meters which in their judgement needs to be changed out every 50 years.

Questions: If you have a similair situation, what was your experience in changing this water feed piping? Was it needed? A waste of money? What type of replacement pipe did you use? Was it expensive? Would you have it done again? Or did you say the heck with it?

Your thoughts/experince are appreicated. Home ownership can be so fun at times... :P
