520			_aCA, 8 October 2002. Respondent builder (H) owned two buildings connected to mains water and sewage facilities. When H converted the buildings into flats, appellant (T) replaced existing pipes but H carried out connections into individual flats. H refused to pay T's infrastructure charges claiming T could not levy a charge under the Water Industry Act 1991 s146(2)(a) for premises already connected. The judge found in H's favour holding that the premises as a whole had been previously connected. T appealed. "Held": appeal allowed on the grounds that the converted premises placed an increased demand upon the water supply regardless of which party made the physical connection.
