Hi

As I believe its ok to have elec cable and water feed in same trench, would be greatful if anyone knows if regs state a distance apart and which
is the lower in the trench.

Regards

Regulation 528 covers “PROXIMITY OF WIRING SYSTEMS TO OTHER SERVICES” and 528.2 refers to 100mm minimum clearance between power and telecommunication cables. I can’t find any other mention as to distance apart there is about a page and a half of regulations. So unless there are water regulations I think your OK.
