    Have spoke with OFT, old sewer, old problem. Suck up sister unfortunately. :(

    I will probably shift the sewer well before letting the building contract

    Call DB4YD and explain their plans may be wrong and they will send someone out (ie From Water, telstra etc) and meet you on site to locate services. Cable, wire or pipe locators. I worked in telecoms for a time and our project staff encountered this all time. May delay things a few days.

    You don't want to break services. You can be liable even with DB4YD plans. Our guys cut electrical and blew out a house which needed substantial rewiring and appliances replaced after a surge. Insurer only covered some. They considered onsite staff liable for lack of care as they knew cable was in wrong place but they continued on.
