Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 8860Dec 29, 2013 7:12 pm Hi Has anyone come across issue whilst building during Xmas period, the tap where the hot water connection is faulty and therefore water keep running continually as soon as main water switch is on. My meter jumps to 80 kilolitre in one week and I am not able to contact the builder as the close for 2 weeks during this Festive Season. I have turned off the main water switch. But different contractors (plasterer, etc...) keep working whilst the builder is off and they need access to water and have therefore turn on the main water switch. I stuck a sign near the main tap asking them to turn off the main switch and have to keep visiting the site to explain it to them. My building contract stated that the owner is liable for all water usage during construction period. I wrote several emails to my builder along with the photos of the water on the ground and the meter reading each day for the past 7 days. Can anyone provide some advice on this? This is very unfair as the water loss is due to faulty plumbing work caused by the builder's plumber. I could imagine at the end of 3 mths the water usage will be thousands due to water loss.
