    change bathroom/basin cold taps to mains instead of storage?

    The Bathroom basin cold taps where we clean our teeth comes from the cold water storage tank up in the attic - what if I were to modify the pipework a bit and hook it up to mains water instead? - any problems? any breaking of water law (in Ireland, so water law may be different to UK) ? and just...
