Well, the water utility also has to give their approval...

As long as everything goes well, no one pays attention to it. It becomes a real problem when something goes wrong. This happened a few years ago in this city. A diligent DIYer managed to contaminate the fresh water supply of an entire district. The utility company took several days to identify the source of the bacteria, and during that time the district was without fresh water. I don’t want to imagine the costs involved (or whether the insurance covered it).

The water utility only replaced and activated the meter at our property – the installation itself was not inspected or approved. However, it’s possible that the installer had to submit additional documentation.

In some municipalities or public utilities, a copy of the installer’s certificate issued by the regional installer committee must be submitted along with the applications for water connection, drinking water system, and rainwater harvesting system. Otherwise, no water meter will be installed. This ensures that at least the technical connection requirements for the drinking water and rainwater harvesting systems are properly met.

I have already written a bit about what is possible and permitted.

If your acquaintance is not registered as a master plumber in the water supplier’s installer directory, or has not obtained a guest permit upon request, he definitely would not have received a water meter.

In the situation you described, there is probably a licensed installer colleague involved who is trying to legitimize installations made by others with his signature.

It would be great if we could get back to the original question here.

Here, nobody wanted to know who was installing it – there was nowhere to specify this when applying for the connection.

We actually had the connection before the wiring inside the house…
