I wish to add an outdoor socket. The water company has fitted an outside wa ter meter. Rather than drill another hole through the wall for my electrica l cable I'm wondering if I can use the same hole as the cable that connects to my outside water meter. To do this I will need to disconnect the outsid e meter.
I have contacted the water company who didn't have an answer but say they'l l get back to me. I feel there could be a long wait and a negative response .
As the outside meter is connected to the inside meter anyway presumably it 'reads' the inside one. So can I briefly disconnect and then reconnect once I have passed my cable through the hole?
Has anyone else done this?
Thanks in advance!
