Water mains reconnection

[PSC88]

Hi all hope you can help.

 

we have just demolished a bungalow read for rebuilding a 2 storey house.

 

my mains water meter is just on the boundary of my property at the main entrance to the plot.

 

my builder disconnected the water and has setup a temporary water supply from the main supply. We didn’t get the utility company involved in this.

 

the new property is going to be roughly in the same position as the bungalow and we will need to arrange the water reconnection .

 

Will my builder be able to do this? He has asked for details for the reconnection so im

guessing I provide him with where I want the new main stop cock to be? 
 

he will be able to dig the trench and lay any pipework?

 

do I need to get the utility company involved at any point 

 

many thanks

If your contractor has set up a water supply for the site from your connection point, assume its a water meter but it may just be a stop cock, then they can do all the other work without the water company being involved - they just need to follow the regs eg double non return valves etc.

No, just connect your new supply pipe to the back of the meter box where the builder disconnected the original supply. you'll want 25mm mdpe brought to your plant room.

 

I'm assuming the builder just removed the old pipe to near the meter and stuck in a tempory stand pipe for the build.
