Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Mar 04, 2018 9:53 am Hello everybody, We are building a house in regional SA, which is due for handover in the next week. I had a look inside the laundry cabinet yesterday and found the power socket installed directly below the water outlets. This doesn't seem like a terribly good idea to me, however I cant find what any information on what standards this applies to. Does anybody know if this is in line with standards?? Thanks!
