This is a new water service line with Pipe Insulation.
This way, it is protected from the elements of the ground.
I have always done this because:
I always believed it would protect the copper piping.

I will saw cut the cement if there is a slab of cement and
Pour sand on top of it if there are a lot of rocks.
Another thing I like to do is check everything with a small mirror, especially the water lines, to ensure that the water-pressurized system does not have any leaks. the ABS plastic piping
