The pipe that branches off the main and runs to your house is called a "service", "supply", or "branch" pipe. The pipe inside your house could be known as a "trunk", from which "branches" split out to the fixtures.
Jun 11, 2014 at 16:55 comment added bfodder Thanks @DMoore (+1) - good advice. Quick terminology question(s). The way I see it is there are 3 major pipes in this equation: (1) the pipe running through my neighborhood, from which water mains branch off into every house, (2) the water main between this line and my house, and (3) the water main once its inside my house, and before other water supply lines (hoses, faucets, showers, etc.) branch off from it. What is the name of #1 and #3 above? Thanks again!
