Preparing for your connection from the street to the house will involve organising a trench from the footpath to the house.

All new estates for approximately the last 10 years had an underground pipe installed 1 meter into the premises from the footpath ready for connection. This is where the trench must be installed to.

From the house, the trench must start within 1 meter from the electricity box. This keeps the services together and ensures easy location by technicians if required.
