Hi,
I live in a 1950's semi with a shared supply which comes in from next door. It's always bugged me that should there ever be an issue Severn Trent would not get involved beyond the supply boundary. I'm considering having the house connected directly and on the website, the other advantage would be getting rid of the lead pipes.
It seems to suggest Severn Trent will add a connection to my property boundary either for free or for an admin charge. However it goes on to suggest I need a Water Safe registered engineer to carry out the works form the boundary to where the stop tap needs to be.
I will need to get some quotes but any ideas on approximately how much I would expect to pay for the digging / laying of new pipes? Does my drive way need to be dug up or can they bore underground these days?
Thanks
Mark
