Two thirds of homeowners may be unlawfully installing water fittings in their home
WRAS is urging anyone planning plumbing work to check if they need permission from their water company, before installing certain plumbing fittings
Nearly two thirds of homeowners (60%) are unaware that they must inform their water company if installing specific water fixtures in their home, including large baths and some types of bidets.
To safeguard our drinking water, UK water regulations and byelaws require, for most types plumbing of work, the designer, installer, owner or occupier to obtain their local water supplier’s consent first. In much the same way you must notify building control if extending or altering your property, you also must send notice and details of the proposed work to the water company.
