I need to know my legal position on something
I live in a top floor flat and have a water meter. So now the scene is set I can begin my story and my predicament.
I just discovered that my downstairs neighbours have made a hole in my bathrooms waste water pipe and have added their own pipe to feed my dirty water into their house. I can only assume they are using it to bathe in and so forth. The thing is I and they are on a water meter, so that water (albeit dirty and disposed of) belongs to me and they are not having to pay as much for their water as I do.
Does anyone know what legal proceedings I can take against my neighbour for stealing my used water? I dont know how long this has been going on for but I can imagine they have saved a fortune by doing this.
I am extremely worried by all of this and my girlfriend is insisting on our waste water being taken down in buckets (by me of course!) and thrown in the garden.
Thanks

I would be more worried about the girlfriend who insists on taking your waste water in buckets and throwing it in the garden.

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
So the problem is that they are saving money, and that the enviroment is spared (because you use the water twice)?

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
Maybe they are also stealing your waste toilet water and are using and reclaimer system to convert it to usuable nitrates and fertilise their garden with it, growing vegetables that bring them profit. Profit at your expense!
Burn them, its the only way.*

If they want to wash in your pubes then I don't see a problem.
Wierd? Yes.
Illegal? I doubt it.

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
Your girlfriend sounds like a classy piece of stuff if she wants you to scoop her poopy from the toilet, put it in a bucket and throw it on the lawn, rather than have some scat-fetishist rub it into their baby-soft skin.

It is the waste water pipe they are stealing from, not the soil pipe.

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
In that case, it's about time you started scooping poopy from the toilet and flushing it down your plugholes. Make sure you listen in to the downstairs reaction when you do this...

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
I think this is a troll thread in light of the other "legal position" thread.
Can I call shenanigens? I have brooms for everyone.

How does wanting the people stealing this poor man's water to be covered in his shit make me bitter and twisted?

absolutely no way man. The other thread might have heightened my awareness of crime and thats what made me notice the neighbours scam, thats the only way I can account for the coincidence but it is no way a troll thread!

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
It may seem insignificant that they're taping into his waste water and all, but the point has to be made this is not normal behaviour.
I think it may be too early for legal action as clearly you have neither confronted them about it or merely removed the added pipe.

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
Just wondering, is it illegal to pour poison out in the sink? Find something not illegal, pour it out, get them to wash in it and say you didn't know they were using your waste-water.

Re: I need to know my legal position on something
Where I live, every new house has to have a water meter. You also can't do certain things (like have sprinklers in your garden) unless you have one.
