I have purchased a hillside on which to build a house. The road with the services is at the top of the hill and my house will be halfway down. My question is, will rainwater run along the services trench and/or the pipes, cables in it, into my house. Is there a standard way to stop this happening?

Of course the trench will be filled with soil! but there is a bed of pea gravel on the bottom through which water will easily flow. Also the electric cable will run in a conduit, through which water can also flow. Is it normal to have a manhole next to the house for the services and a drain in the bottom of the manhole to take away the water?
