I am planning to buy a property with two houses on it. The main house (residential building) is properly connected to the wastewater system. The wastewater drainage works by gravity towards the back of the property, as it is sloped downhill. From there, a lifting station pumps the wastewater up to the street. This lifting station is owned and maintained by the local water authority. This setup is of historical origin.
Now, the problem is the second house. It is currently used as a retail shop and has no connection to the wastewater system, and therefore no sanitary facilities. This makes it very difficult to use or rent out for other purposes. There is only a garden water connection with a sink.
This is now supposed to change, and a complete wet room with a sink, toilet, and shower is planned.
What is the best way to implement this? The house stands directly on the street. From my research, a direct connection to the sewer would only be possible through the water authority and would therefore be very expensive. So, could one simply connect to the existing wastewater connection of the main house? Would that be feasible? If yes, where exactly? Somewhere in the middle, inside the house, or at the inspection chamber? What costs should be expected, and would this require a new tightness test/testing and official approval (building permit / planning permission)?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards
