More drains

This was this week's entertainment.  Somewhere behind this digger are Martin and Craig digging along the electric cable so that they can get the digger bucket in without electrocuting themselves, or depriving us of any power.  This is our front garden and what was once our drive.  There are three trenches running into the plastic manhole in the foreground - so not much drive left.

The main waterpipe also runs along the trench, but perhaps cutting through that would not be as bad as cutting into the electric?  Found more problems with the drains today where they connect to the mains, but thankfully they are not on our side of the fence so would appear to be the responsibility of Severn Trent Water. Just need to nag them to fix the problem now.
