        "text": "A backyard home can be fully integrated with existing municipal water, sewer, and electric services, but capacity must be verified first. Connecting plumbing involves trenching pipe runs back to the main sewer line or septic tank, ensuring proper slope and pipe sizing. Electrically, adding a full suite with appliances, water heating, and climate control often requires upgrading the main electrical panel or installing a dedicated subpanel. These utility routes should be planned early to avoid disrupting existing patios or landscaping.",
