Have been digging in my front garden to make a shallow bed for some slabs, and at only 4" deep have reached the gas service pipe running between meter and street. Is it not meant to be a lot deeper than that, and if so, whose responsibility will it be to make it deeper?
Yellow gas service pipe only 100mm deep

I seem to remember reading about this. The depth of the pipe in a garden or private footpath is ok at 375mm, or 14.7", where-as a public footpath or road would need to be deeper because of the additional pressure on the surface....
I think Transco will stick to the old, "it's on your property, and you're responsible"..... They might also blame a contractor if the work was sub-contracted.....
