If your municipality has provided for this in its drainage regulations, properties that are connected to a public drainage system must generally also be connected to this system and use it. Technically, a so-called property connection must be laid, i.e. a pipe from the public sewer to the inspection chamber (usually located at the property boundary). Via this property connection, you in turn connect the areas and buildings on the property that require wastewater disposal to the public drainage system.
Whether the municipality or the property owner is responsible for the construction, renewal, modification and maintenance of the property connection varies from municipality to municipality. Please contact your local authority for more information. They will also be able to provide you with information on the technical requirements for the connection of your property and the costs you will incur for the installation of such a property connection.
