    Maybe you have already done so, but I ran a water line out to my shop. Its underground but not deep enough for Iowa winters, PEX and running inside a 2 inch PVC pipe. I use compressed air to blow it out for winter.

    ^^^^^^^ YES!!!! ^^^^^^^ and a sink w/drain if you can swing it--

    I turned my garage into more shop space a couple of years ago, and not having water and a sink out there just plain sucks!

    Depending on what you want water and sink for, and how much you expect to use them, I found that a free-to-me utility basin/washtub works great with a jug of water on a shelf above it for supply and a bucket underneath for a drain. Quicker and far cheaper to set up than running pipe/connecting to your water mains and, surprisingly, not particularly a nuisance to fill/drain as needed. Originally, I had a gallon jug but that proved too small, and a 5 gallon jug was cumbersomely big/heavy, but 2 gallons is good for my purposes.

    I don't know where you are located or building code enforcement, but if its just grey water from hand washing look up dry well. And in the summer it could be diverted to your garden for irrigation.
