ᐅ Relocating the construction water connection yourself – what does the connection look like?

We need construction water for the earthworks contractor by February 28th. (Temporary electrical supply has already been arranged.) The standpipe protrudes a maximum of 50cm (20 inches) above ground but unfortunately is located where, according to current plans—yet to be confirmed by the crane company—the crane’s base is supposed to be. Since we have not received any information yet about whether the 50cm (20 inches) standpipe will interfere with the crane or if the crane can position itself over the standpipe, we are considering having the standpipe installed initially at that location and later possibly using a hose without the standpipe to access the water, or perhaps relocating it somehow. From your point of view, is this feasible? I couldn’t find any advice online, and the water supplier said the earthworks contractor could dig a channel to move the water connection aside, but the earthworks contractor needs construction water already. Do you know anything about the order of these steps?

Is it possible to access the construction water without a standpipe, maybe just with a hose? Do you know if a standpipe is permanently fixed? I have read that they are sometimes stolen.

The water connection is already on our property.

(I now understand why housebuilding companies delegate all earthworks and utility arrangements to the homeowners—that’s quite complex.)
