Well, I think I'd need some more details, and perhaps do some price checking to decide.
I take it 1100 feet is the span length, and not the elevation change. What kind of elevation change are you talking? Are you talking 25 ft. of upward elevation change, or 125 ft.???
Also, how far down is the city going to neck it down at the meter?? Does (a 1 hook up) mean they are necking it down to 1 inch at the meter? Or does that mean they are installing 1 meter (as in, you are not opening up a trailer park, with several meters and hook ups)??
To me, it doesn't make much sense to hook onto 1 inch line at the meter, and go back out to 2 inch.
It also doesn't make much sense to me, to install smaller pipe, if it's not going to cost that much more to install a one size bigger pipe.
In my opinion, if your going to do a neck down, after neck down, after neck down as you go along through the span, you might as well just do all the neck down in one step right where you leave the meter. The only way I'd mess with doing such neckdowns, is if you were going to go aways and put in a hydrant, and then go aways and put in another hydrant, and then go a ways and be at the house. Then I'd consider doing a neck down after I passed a hydrant, or some other hook on to the line such as a plumbing to an out building, or whatever. If no hook ons from point A to B, and there never will be, I'd forget the neck downs along the way in the trench.
