I am in the planning stages of running water lines to outbuildings. Starting with a clean slate. Pump pressure tank is in house basement, so all supply lines would originate there. Planning on having running water to three different spots. Longest run would be about 210 feet from house.
What are the pros and cons of running individual lines (3/4 inch black poly) to each of the three water sites, rather than one main line with branches? Lines would be in the same trench as much as possible, but would branch out as needed. All three could probably run together for about 80 feet before the first branch, then two could be together for another 100 before they would split apart.
My initial thought is that by using individual lines I could avoid underground connections and be able to shutoff and drain the individual lines as needed. Also, a leak in one line would not bring down the whole system. The runs aren"t that long so the overall cost of the black poly is not too bad with running them separate.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
