I onow there are differing prices depending on location also.how closecto a government water main.

We have a main right outside and tanks only 3m.away from.the main... last week.was quoted 3600 bt as there is already a meter for next doors propert outside our fron perimeter wall .. today after a survey the price was doubled to 7k ..dm.is smelling a rat ..rip off ?? As when ever we have encountered anythong regardimg a tesban office re planning ekectric anything its been clear they are out to releive you of as much as possible fir whatever reason they can use.

Has anyone recently had a meter fitted ?? If so.how much

I had one installed some years ago , things may have changed, was advised to put ion all the necessary pipework up to and location of the meter you desire, all they have to do is to dig down to their pipe( maybe you can do that as well if you know he location ) . All they have tpo do is to come , fix and go, you do the rerst, simple.

Pluis this stops them digging up everything within a 2 metre arera, because they can. Cost cannot remember but not as expensive as you are quoting

Ok got to.the bottom.of thr price switch ..

Original base price is 3600 bt as shown on the PWA website ..it seems they quote this in all.instances prior to.a survey .. at the survey point they appears to be many loop holes so.they can extract mire than the base 3600.price.

In.our case the orice went up as upon survey.it was decided they need to.lay a new main across the 6m road as the pipe currently being used by next door is temporary feed to their temp.meter , after whinging Dao got them.down to. 6573 bt ..paid and in a Q for installation.
