      @@sarahf7990 I know what you mean but we don't know if the owners/occupants are old or infirm, when I was working in the building trade I used to clear up around older peoples yards without asking them, some jobs like that take 5 minutes when you're fit and able or have the correct tools to hand . Now I'm in my 60s and suffering with health issues even small tasks can be daunting.

    In the UK older drain/manhole covers are rectangular and run in the direction of the drain, one way or another. Once you have cleared the drain the outlets that intercept (drains/manhloes are often referred to as intercepters) the main line at the bottom of the drain face the direction of flow, tradepersons who carry out drainage work know this as part of their skillset and make the job look easy.

      Our manhole covers are rectangular so you know the drain flows in the direction of the rectangle, one way or another. Once you clear the blockage the pipes that are in the bottom of the manhole point in the direction of flow, simple if you know your job.

    A quick question? In Britain, do homeowners pay for water? And what is your etiquette for filling your tank with their water? Growing up in Michigan, we had plenty of water and never needed to think about it. But here in California, it’s clearly become a different deal entirely.

    • @awt
      @awt 2 года назад +1

      Yes, we pay for water. Historically, there was no water meter and you just paid some fixed amount for your property. Nowadays, water companies are keen to fit water meters and charge for your actual usage (mine was fitted in... 2019? but I'm in London, no idea what the water co around Liverpool does). So, it probably depends on whether you have a meter or not as to whether the homeowner would want you filling the tank from their supply!

      ​@@johnsrabe that's a bit of a sore spot right now - since the 1990s, they are private companies, but with effective monopolies in a given region (e.g. Thames Water is the only company I can get my water from). I don't know if this makes the news outside the UK, but there has been a lot of problems with raw(ish) sewage being pumped into the sea, while the companies continue to make "bumper" profits.
