How to bring running water and drainage to a remote chicken barn
In short: Master plumber Richard Trethewey demonstrates the technical process of installing a cold-water utility sink in an outbuilding, including how to manage drainage without a sewer connection.
The project involves tapping into a house's water supply and running polyethylene pipe, equipped with a vacuum breaker, to the barn. To handle waste, the video shows the installation of a dry well behind the shed, featuring a catch basin dug by Mark McCullough.
Trethewey also explains the specific plumbing logic required when piping a faucet that only utilizes cold water, using standard fittings available at plumbing supply houses.
