Connection areas The privatisation of telephone, water, gas and electricity has complicated the assessment of service connection charges. Typically, service connection charges will include the actual cost of the direct connection plus an assessment of distribution costs from the main. The latter cost is difficult to estimate as it depends on the type of scheme and the distance from the mains. In addition, service charges are complicated by discounts that maybe offered. For instance, the electricity boards will charge less for housing connections if the house is all electric. However, typical charges for an estate of 200 houses might be as follows Water house 425.00 to 850.00 Electric all electric house 255.00 to 340.00 gas/electric house 235.00 to 680.00 pre-packaged sub-station housing nr 19000.00 to 25500.00
