Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 222May 11, 2013 8:59 am We got our first power bill yesterday! Was for $9.74 cents! LOL Feel free to follow our build! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59958 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 223May 12, 2013 10:03 pm CrazyEagle Ok so I'm having a bit of a panic attack I think! I'm fearing the bill has gone to the wrong address because we moved house like a fortnight after settlement. I rang SA Water and the guy said that they had the address of the BLOCK for the whole year, and after the bill had been returned the post office/SA water each quarter, they FINALLY looked into it (maybe called LV) and got my billing address. I asked if i could receive any compensation as I was unaware that i even had a water bill, and all he could give me was a week's extension and a very insincere apology. So annoying. I would call SA Water CE, and double check - you would hate to be slapped with the bill for 18 months worth of water connection!! A little update though - we have been given a "estimated slab date".... should be around 3-4 weeks away (bout 9th June). Not very happy about the house being built through Winter, but its better than no house at all. Will try and post some selections photos when i get a chance everyone, sorry i have been so slack!!

At least you found out about it in the end? I will definitely be calling them this morning! I think our land settlement was around the same time as yours (June 2012) so hopefully it isn't too bad? Hooray for the soon to be slab!! Means site works aren't too far off? 6m Terrace House - Lightsview (Northgate SA) First fix completed ... 15 February 2013 Render completed... 19 February 2013 Insulation... 19 February 2013 Plasterboard... 21 February 2013 /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58747 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 225May 13, 2013 1:42 pm J_and_T Hi Everyone... Just wondering if you all had to pay water bills from SA Water from the day you purchased the block?? I was under the impression we only had to pay once people were building on it, but I have just been slapped with a $515 bill for a YEARS's worth of water services to the block!! HELP! Just wondering if you all had to pay water bills from SA Water from the day you purchased the block? Yes. I got water bill each quarter for empty block, even if water usage is 0 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 226May 13, 2013 5:14 pm So called SA water and had a similar situation to you J and T! All sorted now though.. Except the person I spoke to was really quite nice and asked me how long I needed to pay it! 6m Terrace House - Lightsview (Northgate SA) First fix completed ... 15 February 2013 Render completed... 19 February 2013 Insulation... 19 February 2013 Plasterboard... 21 February 2013 /viewtopic.php?f=31&t=58747 Re: J_and_T's House Build in Lightsview 227Jun 19, 2013 5:54 pm Sooo a little bit of news... we HAVE A SIGN AND A WATER METER!!

Also exciting to see how big each room will be etc We met with our SS on Tuesday, and he has given us a 7 month timeline (from slab pour), so that takes us to around early February. SS seemed great, very thorough and helpful.
