        "text": "A detached ADU requires its own utility connections for water, sewer (or septic), electricity, and sometimes gas. These utilities can either be sub-metered from the main house's existing connections or, in some cases, require entirely new, separate utility hookups with their own meters. The method of connection depends on local regulations, the capacity of existing utilities, and the desired independence of the ADU. Proper planning ensures sufficient utility service and compliance with all safety and building codes for both the new unit and the primary residence.",
