bunny Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Can anyone give us advice regarding getting connected with utilities such as electric, water and septic tank installation? I keep putting off telephoning Edf as I'm not confident speaking french on the phone and am not sure who to contact re other utilities. I gather that there are companies who will do this for you. Does anyone have any experience of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You could start here http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/723857/ShowPost.aspxShould sort you out on the phone, at least. Why not ask the agent who sold the house to earn his money for the water and leccy?Fosse septique? Not a utility - what's your current plumbing situation? Have you no fosse or mains drainage?

Jc Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Both EDF and your water co. will have local offices that you can visit in person;I visited mine in the past when I first wanted to set up supplies and they were outstandingly helpful(my fractured French & their fractured English sufficed).

Wozza Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm sure that I have seen a number for EDF in the English Press that is specifically for Brits. Try getting a copy of French News or Connexion at your local newsagent, if you are in France. The best idea is to get your agent to do it, though - that's what you paid them for.

Rob Roy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I agree with Cassis and Wozza - our agent organised the change of name and reconnection of water and electric for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
