Hello forum community,
we are currently preparing for the construction of a house. In 2012, we purchased two plots of land (each 556 sqm) and have now had them merged at the land registry / cadastral office. Since we bought the plots already fully developed, the utilities are connected twice.
When we requested a cost estimate for the installation of a drinking water connection, we were simultaneously informed that we have to pay a net fee of EUR 820 for the removal of the redundant drinking water connection.
The only explanation I could get from my supplier was: "Bacteria could form at the connection and therefore the removal must be carried out."
Since the development of the plots was already 16-17 years ago, I find this statement very vague and cannot really understand it. At the moment we feel cheated by the supplier!!! It gives the impression that they are trying to make money by all means.
So far, I have not been able to find a similar case online. Has anyone of you had such experiences or can give me advice?
Thank you very much
Best regards
