Problem

We have found our first major problem - someone has installed our front garden tap & water metre ..... right in the middle of our driveway!


The major issue with this is that once installed a tap can only be moved approximately 1 metre without large costs and moving it a metre in any direction still places it in the driveway. 

We contacted our site supervisor to let him know of the problem & then received a phone call from Porter Davis Plumber who told us that they had not installed this tap & was at a loss as to how it got there. 

Our site supervisor is following this up & will be getting back to us about what is going to be done.
