I have a detached garage on a zero lot line and a narrow gap between the house and the garage. My driveway runs between the lot line and the house back to the garage. So there isn't a lot of room. I have a spigot in the back corner by the garage that I use for watering the back lawn and garden. But, running it across the driveway and around the garden means I have to continually disconnect the hose or else it gets trashed by bikes and wheelbarrows etc. My question is; can I bury black pipe underground so that it then comes up and I can then hook up the hose in a more accessible place? I would have a 'jumper' hose to hook the spigot to the black pipe every spring and disconnect it in the fall (I shut off all the outside spigots every fall). My concern is that water would sit in the pipe all winter (we occasionally get a hard freeze her ) leading to problems but the black pipe would be open at both ends allowing for expansion. What say you?
A second question just occurred to me. So long as I am digging the trench, could I make it a little deeper and last down some wiring in conduit for an eventual garage sub panel? Would the city inspectors allow it and give me an approval even if I don't plan on finish wiring for a year or two?
Thanks in advance.
