| Has anybody come across a water mains and water meter
installed in the cupboard right under the main electric panel. Isn't this creating a dangerous situation in case of an accident with the water mains? Is this in accordance with the regulation? This home was built apprx two years ago by a very reputable Ontario, Canada, builder called Arthur Blakely and company. The plumber who came to service our hot-water tank
Please may I have comments on this.

| I assume the home had inspections as it was built??? What do the building codes say for your area? If it wasn't built according to code, you should have some recourse on the city and the builder. |

| Although there is a clearance requirement for panels, I believe that the water mains are ok as long as they are below the electrical panel. It is the ones above the electrical panel that the inspectors get you for. |
