Could anyone offer some advice, I am working on a new build house being built on a farm (the owner of the farm is building a large house). The farm is set back a few hundred metres from the main road. A 2 inch asbestos cement pipe tees of United Utilities MDPE pipe at the main road before running up the fields 200-300m to the farm.
The water meter and stopcock is just off the main road too. Therefore from that point the pipe is 'privately owned'.
What I am eventually getting around to asking is: can the contractor connect a new 32mm. MDPE pipe to the new house into the asbestos cement pipe on the farm, or do you think UU would have to come out and do it? It is 'privately owned' after the stopcock and water meter. The new house is replacing an existing house which is being demolished, we could use the existing water pipe, but it is a lead pipe and also we would like to increase the dia. as the new house has a large demand.
Thanks
