Unable to locate water meter/stopcock

[Adam Watson]

Hello all, just want your opinion on something. I'm currently testing retail stores and I cannot locate the water meter/stopcock. There is a 10mn earth that goes into the ceiling from MET. I have went round with my R2 lead and am getting 0.03-0.04 in kitchen, toilet etc. Like I said no sign of earth clamp on any pipes either.

On my report i was going to put a C3 for no clamp. And a C3 for not being able to find the water meter/stopcock, as I'm unable to see if it's bonded withing 600mm of point of entry or before T branch. Would you say this is correct?

Cheers

Ring up the water supplier and ask them where the meter.

FI for further investigation.
There is a 10mm going somewhere

Thanks for the reply, the company i work for have a separate team for remedials, this is why i'm coding. This is just a single phase shop in a town centre. And i'm doing night shift so no one to call sadly.

Water suppliers phone lines are 24/7. They should tell you where the meter is or send some one out to find it.

Yeah i understand what your saying, but we have a remedial team who would return to either locate or install works required.

OK, has to be FI as you can't C3 no clamp as you don't know there is no clamp! Sounds like you're on to a proper winner if you can get remedials to team in to pick up all the snags/FI work.
