Bärchen20122 Jul 2021 19:39Hello forum,
we are currently planning the utility connections. Our plot is a rear lot with an access way of about 30m (100 feet) that we own. We are aware of the higher costs this entails. Upon inquiry, we were informed that the sewer and drinking water pipes end in a pit approximately 1m (3 feet) inside the property. The remaining meters are our responsibility. Has anyone had experience with this? Can this be handled by a licensed electrician (EL), or who should we hire for this?
We would be very grateful for any tips.
Best regards, Jeannette

hampshire2 Jul 2021 21:59We contracted the civil engineer for the earthworks and concrete work. Doing it ourselves was too complex and tool-intensive on our property, with more than 10m (33 feet) height difference to the connection point and partially soil class 7.

motorradsilke3 Jul 2021 04:29We did the sewage work ourselves many years ago. The length was about 35 m (115 feet). The soil here is uncomplicated, mostly sandy soil. It’s a matter of money and physical fitness. Sewage pipes need to be laid quite deep, depending on where the connection to the main sewer line is. In our case, it was about 1.30 m (4 feet 3 inches) deep. You can also rent mini excavators.
