When units are completed they do the permanent hookups. Some newer construction has them all underground. "Everybody lies." |

Quoting: ID2268 Thanks for your response, I appreciate it. It's not that however, there's no reason they would raise the land...there's not that much land period! An issue was actually raised in the public hearings from neighbors as this plot is already on something of a hill and they were concerned about drainage going down into neighboring areas, which I can actually see happening. The whole thing just seems so backward to me intuitively - I'd think they'd put in the utilities first and then the condo buildings. I figure, perhaps wrongly of course, that they put up the building just so something would be up so the project couldn't be stopped, as it's a very unpopular project here. An obvious money grab and fuck you to the neighborhood. As I say, the building inspectors seem very corrupt to me anyway. |

They use trenchers to dig the trenches for the pipes. Can be done very unobtrusively as the trenches are not much larger than the pipes. Easily done in a day if you weren't watching. Quoting: G.

Some newer construction has them all underground. Thank you for that answer! Again, I appreciate all responses. You might be right but we've been looking at this pretty constantly and have seen no sign of that. Also the area around this new building and towards where they would put the other building is a mess, it doesn't look like they put in anything or leveled it off. It looks like the dug up the dirt for the foundation on the existing building - dumped it in the middle of the plot and just left it there. We're wondering if they're going to abandon this building as is, if they're run out of money or something because it looks like they've just given up. Such a mess in what was once a lovely and scenic little neighborhood. |
