Private water abstraction can cause serious problems where that supply is provided to third party users.  Problems often arise where there is a risk of the supply failing or where the water system needs major repair.  

We have extensive experience in this field and can advise on:

• Drafting new agreements between users
• Advising on obligations to pay for water consumed
• Assessing duties in relation to maintenance of a supply system
• A landowner’s ability to disconnect supplies
• Statutory obligations to upgrade residential supplies
• Regulatory obligations on water testing
