When we place water lines I alwas suggest two lines side by side. The cost isn't a whole lot more because the hole is already dug. We also place them inside a 4 inch solid drain tile, and seven foot down.
We (include in our service) draw a very detailed map of the lines with photos that I ask them to place with their deed and abstract...no where else, because that is what I have suggested since 1964, and I will know where I told them to put it.
So far (knock ON wood) it has been well recieved, Especialy when you look at the total cost, it just is a real cheap saftey step.
A welder does work fine, but the guy doing it probably does not have insurance, or if he does, his insurance company is sleeping. I know of at least six cases where the neighbors socket meter started smoking, a fuse box got toasted, electronic devices failed etc.
I got scared myself, and do not offer the service anymore, rather a phone number of a guy who does it. It has been outlawed in my town, although I have asked to see the ordinance in writting a couple times, and no one has showed it to me.
We get calls all the time to help thaw out new cattle waters, hog waters, and frozen water lines. The problems always seem to follow certian contractors, do it your selfers. I know of few cases where some one should not have seen the problem as it was installed.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
