Getting clean water to a building starts with the line in the ground. Eagle Rock installs domestic water systems for residential, commercial, and municipal projects across Southern Arizona, from the water main to the service connection.

Why Choose Eagle Rock for Domestic Water Installation
- We work within Tucson Water’s requirements. Commercial properties, and many other site types, are required to have backflow prevention installed at each service connection under Tucson’s municipal code. We install to those standards from the start, instead of leaving it as a fix for later.
- Correct depth and separation from other utilities. Water lines have to be installed at the right depth and kept properly separated from sewer and other underground utilities. Our crew builds that into the plan before the first trench is dug.
- Coordinated with the rest of your underground work. We install domestic water alongside sewer and storm drain systems on the same job, cutting down on repeat excavation and keeping your project on one schedule.
- In-house permitting. New water service connections require permits and coordination with the utility provider. Our staff manages that process alongside your other site permits.

Domestic Water System Installation FAQs
Do commercial properties need backflow prevention on a new water connection?
Yes. Under Tucson’s municipal code, backflow prevention assemblies are required at service connections where there’s a potential hazard to the public water supply, which applies to most commercial and multi-family properties.
Who installs and maintains backflow prevention assemblies?
The property owner is responsible for installing and maintaining backflow prevention equipment at their own expense, in compliance with the standards set by the local water utility. Eagle Rock installs these assemblies as part of the water system installation.
How deep does a domestic water line need to be?
Depth requirements depend on local code, frost considerations, and separation distance from sewer lines. Our crew installs to the depth and separation the local water utility requires.
Can water and sewer lines be installed in the same trench?
Generally no. Domestic water and sanitary sewer lines need to be kept at a minimum horizontal and vertical separation to protect the water supply. We plan trenching to meet those separation requirements.
Do I need a permit for a new water service connection?
Yes, new connections typically require a permit and coordination with the local water provider before installation and meter setting. We handle that coordination as part of the project.
How long does it take to install a domestic water line?
It depends on the length of the run and site conditions. A single residential connection may take a day, while a development-wide water main can take several weeks.
Do you handle both residential and commercial water system installation?
Yes, we install domestic water systems for residential subdivisions, commercial developments, and municipal projects throughout Southern Arizona.
