[QUOTE="matthew, post: 4798260, member: 169"] We did a new connection for a trough in a paddock and at the same time a separate connection for a property for sale, which was using the same spurred off old pipework. The biggest and daftest cost was a Public Notice to close the road while the meters were being fitted in a grass verge. Narrow, Class C and that cost was £800 + night time extra £300 which we claimed back, plus VAT. From memory, the meters and connections and a bloke to check the water for coliforms :facepalm: as one section was a domestic supply, was around £1000 and we did all the trenching, back filling and bought / laid the pipes. A separate meter for just the agricultural trough was no less expensive. So we were grateful to share the SWW cost with the seller of the bungalow. We also laid another pipe in the trench for when the final property on the old line is sold. No one is digging that paddock up again. And it's a long way round by road. [/QUOTE]
