Today’s home and business has multiple plumbing systems used for moving both fresh, potable water and removing waste sewage from the building. The fresh water system comes in from a primary line which is then separated at the hot water heater. At this point there is now one cold water line that runs through the building and a hot water line that generally runs close to it. For homes these pipes will be installed into the bathroom, kitchen and utility area with an extra spigot or two that are available outside the house for easy access. In a business the plumbing could run all over the place depending on the purpose of the building itself. For example, multiple story buildings are often offices where each have their own plumbing installation branched off of a main supply and a sewage return that connects to a large sewer line.
