Hi all
Just wondering when you get your water meter, is it before they start building, or when they finished before you move in.
Many thanks for any replies.

At the moment I have a 10000L tank hooked up to the shed which is full of rainwater and I have access to bore water (which ain't real high quality water). Would that be enough? Could you use bore water when wetting down a slab or would it affect the colouring as the water is not entirely clear? Was planning on polished concrete floors after.
