– How do newly built houses get connected to electricity and water supply?

I know absolutely nothing about construction nor engineering. Solely just curious

During construction, a new connection to the utilities gets built into the property. At the simplest level, there’s an active water main or electrical utility pole nearby, and a new branch of pipes or electrical wires can be added to them. Things get way more complicated when a new house gets built in the middle of nowhere, but the basic principle is the same.

with more cables and more pipes

if you are worrying about overloading manifolds, don;t. We do not flush water at the same time

Same with cables, a copper cable will just get slightly less efficient when you connect one more house to it. Only when those efficiencies are big anough, someone would lay new calbe

A friend bought a huge plot of land in the middle of nowhere north Florida. If you think getting water or power run to new construction is hard none of that can be done without a street address. It took at least 4 months to get the usps to assign an address.
