<p>The Water Industry Act 1991 permits owners of premises or of private sewers to
connect to the public sewer and to discharge into it foul and surface water. A sewerage
company may, however, refuse this connection if it appears that the construction or
condition of the connecting drain or sewer does not reasonably satisfy the standards
it reasonably requires or if the connection would be prejudicial to its own sewerage
system. Where there are questions or disputes about reasonableness, the regulator
- Ofwat - would make the final determination.</p>
