Mains cable underneath Berm or register Easement?
Posted: Wed Apr 10, 2024 11:43 pm
Hi guys,
We are doing kind of the All-in-One services for one project in Auckland. The client requires all the mains cable for 9 x dwellings go to to Pit on the street. There are two dwellings on each side of the drive way in the front facing the street while the newly built vector Power pit are in the corner of the street outside the dwelling Lot 1.
If the mains cable from the rear units, the cable have to be
A) buried under berm through driveway and then get into the pit, or,
B) through dwelling Lot 1 and directly get into the pit.
So my question is,
If we go with option A, is the auckland council ok with this? the trench will be on the edge of the berm and the boundary of the site. But I was told only Vector or watercare or Chorus can dig and trench in the berm.
If we go with option B, then there are going to be a lot of easement to be registered which the client does not want to. As all the mains have to go through dwelling Lot 1 .
This also applies to the water mains to each dwelling.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,
Tiger
