water works

if you go on friday at half past 9 to the water works office to sign the contract they will make you a new connection. That was the message on the sms from flavio, one of the brothers at hydro sanitary and electric services. He sent that message while on holiday in africa, having spoken to his brother earlier. So we went, met two very nice guys from ACDA and with our very broken italian we got ourselves a contract for a new water connection and a new water meter to be installed. The old water meter in the house is leaking so we can't have the water on. And when the company replaces them, they make sure they are outside and accessible for them without having to make an appointment.

Niklas had already dug the hole and found the connection from the communal water pipe to our property, as we had been told we have to do cause the company does no digging they only connect. And we have been told we need to build a little brick box for the connection once it is done. Which won't be such a big problem as we are expert brick builders now. Niklas has also dug the larger part of the trench for the water pipe inside the cellar to connect the communal line to our main. So we are prepared.

but.. piano piano

we were told by one of the charming water work men that after signing the contract on friday, we will have to wait for an invoice to come by mail to our address. Once we have paid that invoice and sent a paper back to the agency, then we will be advised of the day they will start the works to connect us. So now we are wondering if we should close the hole again during the wait or just leave it as is. Maybe need to ask the direttore di lavori for advice.
