hi guys,
Regarding front water tap/meter - Our builder has advised us that we need to relocate the front water tap/meter because it is in the middle of the proposed driveway and that will be at our cost.
Now, I've read here that this has happened to other ppl before. However, after talking to a plumber, friends, I've learned that this should not be of my concern, as it is not my fault.
I've talked to the water company and they say that when my builder applied to connect water, they did not submit plans which would have indicated where the driveway would be; therefore they couldnt know that the water tap/meter would be right in the middle of the driveway. Therefore they are saying it's not their problem, and it costs $275 to relocate the water tap/meter.
now i've gone back to my builder to explain the situation, but they still say that it's the client's responsibility to pay for those "mistakes"?!
what do u guys think? has anyone of you had a similar situation?
