After an initial disapproval on two points, the new utilities pipes got connected through the earlier dug ditch. The missing points were that there needed to be a door closing the meter cupboard. One with holes in it so gas would be able to get out of there in case of a leak. The second thing was that there needed to be a foundation blocking gas from potential gas leaks to run onder the house. There needed to be some concrete. for the pipes to run through. Things people did not really care about 50 years ago.
The whole process is fairly easy. Create a request for all utilities at one website, get a quote from one company that you have no choice but to accept and then wait until they com ’round. Only the water is a bit of a problem apparently. The pipes needed a longer detour than expected apparently and ‘they’ are thinking of what the best way will be.
