Well not quite a closed trench but nearly. Pipes now installed for stormwater and mains water. Next stage is for council to inspect the install (if needed - the plumber wasn't sure if they would bother) then I can fill in most of the trench. I rang the council today and found out my planning in in final stages of consideration...hopefully that means approved very soon! I also enquired about moving my 22500L poly rainwater tank. The plumber was concerned that it may be an issue as apparently gal steel tanks are now recommended for firefighting. The planner wasn't too bothered so hopefully all good and i won't need to fork our for a new tank.
