Im getting a pad poured for a carport beside my house this weekend.. But i have 1 problem. I have well water and the supply line runs to my house right where im getting the slab poured. What are some ways to go about installing the slab here? run pipe deeper under slab, reroute? Heres a picture to kind of explain what im talking about excuse the junk its getting hauled off along with that shed before they do the slab. My well would be on the left side of the picture in the front yard.

I dont understand what the picture is for? The water supply should be far enough below the ground level to not have to worry about for pouring a slab. If you have to replace the supply line at a later time you can run it around the slab if you dont want to cut the slab to replace it in the current location.

Go with the last suggestion. I had my attached garage built over my well lines. I was worried when they were digging for the footer but the lines must have been under that. I know they ran there as I had a guy come and locate them. My logic: if I never have to replace them, then who cares where they are. If I ever do have a problem, then I'll deal with it then and re-route then.
