Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Oct 01, 2021 9:11 pm Hi all, we recently completed our build in SA and had to move our water meter and recycling tap (in the orange pipe) to the left so as to not impinge upon driveway space (first picture). Due to a lack of communication by multiple parties on multiple occasions, I couldn't be present during the works done by a company contracted by SA Water. If I had been present, I would have asked about the pipes still in the way of the future driveway (pictures 2, 3 and 4). Silly me thought the $713 cost to move the meter 50cm would have included this. As someone completely new to this, are these pipes just the basic installation when water was first installed, and are they able to be cleaned up and placed underground by a plumber?
