I own a property that i'm in the process of converting into 2 flats. There is a water supply into the building that i'd hoped to split into 2 to feed each flat. Yorkshire water told me i had to install a separate new feed and have quoted me a staggering £2500 to lay a small length of pipe to connect me to the water main in the street about 1.5m from the boundary from of my property
The question is legally am i forced to do this or are YW just wanting to cash in on naive property developers ?
The current supply has no water meter so i was hoping i could just get both flat tenants to split the cost of the single supply.
tia,
Mike.
