ok so I go on Western Powers website to get underground power to the existing house in Hamilton Hill. At this stage its a quote to supply power from across the street and put a new dome in on the boundary only.
First quote as advertised on their website is $680.00, Sub Contractor emails me a map and says is the location where you wanted it. No I want it on the other side of the block about 20m across but same distance as it will connect up with the other lamp post on the other side of the street so no more work for Western Power / Sub Contractor.
Western Power get back to me and say the location I want is not in their "Preferred Position" and the cost is now an estimate of $6,800.00
Wow well played Western Power !
