520 _a[2008] EWCA Civ 1552. This case reinforces the established position that land-owning developers have a statutory right to connect into a public sewer. The water undertaker (D) was not permitted under the Water Industry Act 1991 s.106 to require a developer (B) to connect to its sewers at an alternative point than that proposed by the developer, in order to avoid sewer overload. B wanted to connect the drains at point x adjoining its development site. D objected as this might overload the sewers at point x, and suggested that the sewers be joined at point y, 300-400 metres further down the sewer, not adjoining the development.
