Our nonprofit organization recently build a bathroom at our local soccer park. The water supply line and it's installation was donated and was not sized properly. The pressure and flow available at the street is acceptable but low; and the loss in the 300 ft long - 1" line was too much which resulted in the apparatuses in the bathroom not operating. I'm trying to purchase an adequate size supply line. The local water service company has calculated that an ID of 1.739" (or greater) would be adequate. I had sourced plastic 2" CTS service line, but the ID is only 1.639". Please share recommendations on what material I could use for my supply line. Thank you.

I, persnally, would not worry about the smaller size, and the fewer connections would make a better installation.

I would not consider the difference in size between 2" cts and ips lines of any consequence.
