Question

Suppliers of tools for digging domestic water supply?

Answer 1

federal law requires you to have underground utilities located before you start digging, there is a big fine + repair of broken utility. As sensible said, you can rent a trencher or backhoe at  a tool rental company. You need to find out what your state plumbing code says about how deep it should be. Up north it can be 3 ft. In Ga its 12 inches

Answer 2

Ace Hardware, they call them shovels.

Answer 3

Are you installing it or repairing one that is already in? Ditch Witch works well for digging a trench. These can be rented at most Tool Rental places.
