For an underground water line in Atlanta, GA, HDPE (poly pipe) or PEX is the best choice because they're durable, flexible, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for long-term underground use.

  • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Frequently used for underground service lines due to its flexibility and high pressure rating (often 160-250 psi).

You will need to check on building codes. Copper is usually best from meter to house.
