Water supply upgrade

Has anyone done one of these?

 

I finally found the route of my water supply pipe today (not at all where we expected it to be!) and it's a measly 20mm diameter pipe.  The water company chap suggested contacting the company to inquire about an upgrade which will increase the diameter of the pipe to 32mm from the mains meter.  He said that I'll get exactly the same pressure and so much better flow.  I've just tried calling and they've all cleared off for the afternoon, so I will give them another call tomorrow and see how much it will cost.  20mm up to 32mm seems like an increase worth having, but not sure about the price.

Depends how far back they have to go. If the meter is on your property you can do it yourself as everything after the meter is your scope anyway, provided its on your land. If on public land then they will charge you but you can do all the uncovering work your side.
