Plans Approved

WARNING: This post includes grr’s with increasing number of r’s.

We were advised on 19/02/2013 that council is putting development approval for our plans on hold – due to an existing uncapped sewer line being registered to the property. It turns out that the demolition guys’ plumber didn’t do the sewer capping. Grrr!

Daniel, the demolition guy, almost immediately went back out to the site to dig a massive hole (WITH A SHOVEL!) for the plumber to come and do the sewer cap.

The plumber did the sewer cap, and then arranged for a council inspector to verify the sewer capping on 22/02/2013.

On 26/02/2013 the inspector visited the site. The capping was however not passed, due to an issue with the main sewage line being cracked. Grrrr! A job was logged with Urban Utilities to correct the fault.

Surely these 50-year old pipes still function with trees growing in them?

Urban Utilities came around to fix the sewer line on Thursday 14/03/2013. They were unable to do the work though as they needed a bigger machine to dig through all the rock on the site. We did joke about Daniel being able to dig his hole with a shovel…

Urban Utilities completed the work on Friday 15/03/2013. The council inspector passed the capping on 19/03/2013.

Rock, where?

Plumbing plans were approved on 20/03/2013, and the other plans were approved on 22/03/2013. YAY!
