Water Service Piping

[jfunderburk (Joe Funderburk, CMI)]

Saw a house yesterday that had PVC as the main water line from the municipal water system. Usually, I see the semi-flexible black pipe. Is PVC acceptable?

Photo attached. (Disregard the errosion beneath the footing…I’ve already noted that.)
