As it turns out, being hooked up to the water mains really doesn’t mean having the water supply for the house switched on. The sub-contractor for the utility company came along this morning (in fact, three trucks and about seven or eight people came, three of whom did something!), installed a water meter in the house, tested it, and promptly sealed the pipe. The next step is that an inspection must be made of the pipes in the house, and only once these have been certified will the utility company send somebody to unseal the mains. Then, and only then, can the builders connect the water mains to the house’s own pipes. Realistically, this could take two to three weeks.
