convo with gary

spoke to gary this afternoon ,
he told me that the impression that he'd paid for his supply a while ago ,that i was given by the sse chap martyn dopson ,was actully totally incorrect and hed only paid it yesterday ,in response to a letter from sse saying '' heres your quote ,and it was for only one house'' ,after gary had specifically asked for a quote for all 4 houses .

he called them and said
''why is this for only 4 houses when the engineer matthew claridge ,came round all 4 houses and was quote ok about a 4 house quote ,he was told by martyn dopson that they cannot give out multi house quotes ,due to it being a breach of confidentiality ! eh??? said gary ,you gave robert a multi house quote last november ,''no we didnt that was a single house quote'' ...this isnt true , it was definately a multi house quote and i have it on my pc sent to me by dopson if anyone wants a copy !


so thats whats happening there , with reference to the sewage pumping stn , gary said hed spoken to barratt about it ,and that he gary ,felt that it should not be a problem to link inot the cable from the bottom to the top since it only runs a few feet from the stn ,and then put a meter in the stn connection box .i wondered about this ,and it occurs to me that the stn probably runs 3 phase ,and the cable from the bottom may be single ph , in which case this may not work ,it needs to be checked ,and most importantly ,barratt has to comit to it ,since no pumping stn would be a bit unpleasant !i said to gary ,we would all be better off with sceptic tanks ,and if sharing, just get charged for clearing them based on our water meter readings .

so tomorrow gary will call up matthew claridge and try to find out why thers no mention of a 4 hs quote .and also talk to templewood and see if they can combine forces to get the sse to put in a bigger 185mm cable ,and use the 95mm cable allocated for the site to do the length to billys house ... brilliant lateral thinking by gary !


regards
robert
