Ehitusetapp

Ehitusetapp is an Estonian term that translates to "construction tap" or "building tap." It refers to a temporary water connection that is installed on a construction site to provide water for various purposes during the building process. This water is essential for mixing concrete and mortar, dust suppression, cleaning tools and equipment, and for the general use of workers on site.

The installation of an ehitusetapp is typically carried out by the local water utility or a licensed plumber. It involves tapping into the main water supply line and running a temporary pipe to the construction site. Safety regulations and local ordinances govern the installation and use of ehitusetapp to prevent contamination of the main water supply and ensure responsible water usage.

Once the construction is complete and the permanent water supply is connected, the ehitusetapp is removed. The temporary nature of this connection makes it a crucial, albeit short-term, utility for any construction project. It ensures that work can proceed efficiently without water-related delays.
