The minimum distance between water service line (wet trench) and the 2' wide trench (dry trench) (telephone, catv and elec) may vary from a minimum of 12-inches to 5'. You will have to get the answer from your local building official.

Post No.3 3 also states: "This is referring to the distance between sewer and other utility pipes, I am trying to figure the spacing between 1" water service lines or if they can be placed next to each other or stacked."
There are specific requirements almost everyone for this. If the inspector finds improper installation, the Contractor will have to correct it.
In California, the minimum horizontal distance between a water line (domestic lateral) and a sewer line running parallel to it is typically 10 feet...
The NKG pumps are just ordinary transfer pumps. If you procure these pumps with the correct materials of construction, then you shouldn't have any issues.
Suggest you review one of the grinder pump systems before you respond.
The poster is describing a grinder pump system, not an overhead sewer. These grinder pump systems consist of a 1.5" lateral from the residence that is connected to a 2-3" diameter manifold that conveys the sewage away. The...
Not sure what you have going on as you haven't presented the equipment details.
Most of these systems have a grinder pump with 85 psi discharge pressure. You should have a check valve adjacent to the grinder pump that prevents the backflow.
If you have a leak in the lateral, it would appear...
If you look at the horsepower calculator on this site:

If you are using a standard no-clog centrifugal pump on this application, you pump motor is likely undersized as the pump efficiency may be as low as 40%.
Ed says: “When you regen the resin reaches an equilibrium with the brine.”
That is an incorrect statement and will confuse the poster more than he already is. When salt is applied, the high stoichiometric salt ratio drives the reversible chemical reaction one way, and then the chemical reaction...
The water softener cycle (gallons throughput) is based on a calculation using the following parameters:
1. applied salt dosage in lbs/ cubic feet or g/L
2. resin volume in softener
3. raw water hardness
If any of these parameters change, it will be reflected in the gallons throughput. The...
Another uphill force main with problems!
Your operating pumping rate of 190 gpm doesn't have high enough velocity to push the air out. The trapped air results in a higher than anticipated head loss.
Not sure how you plan to operate. If the pump is operated intermittently, you need a velocity...
The resin bed has a defined total bed capacity (capacity in grains) calculated by multiplying the total cubic feet of resin times the resin operating capacity. The resin operating capacity is from the manufacturer's chart 4.4.1 Co-current Design Figure 2., resin operating capacity. You can use...
You will probably find that the piping systems have more I/I than the septic tanks.
Recommend the entire system be replaced starting from the residential drain pipe.
