Hi,
Quick question for those of you who may have been involved with installing water supply pipe (even better if through Scottish Water). Basically we have a water mains connection point located in an adjacent farmers field, to reach our plot the supply would have to travel approx 100m down field and crossing a road (small country road) into our plot.
I have spoken with the farmer and he is good with us putting in the pipe when his crop (oil seed rape) is harvested. My issue is that i haven't been quite quick enough to get the ball rolling with Scottish Water - the usual rubbish has to be done filling in forms etc before we will get anywhere. My question is would I be good to go ahead myself to avoid missing the chance - without confirmation from Scottish Water - to put a length of 32mm pipe down this field ending beside the mains water connection? If so is there certain guidelines that would have to be adhered to?
Note this would certainly be the mains connection to which we will connect to. Neighbouring properties to our plot already have pipes from this connection - I know its stupid we didn't put a pipe in at the time they were built! hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Thanks!
