§ 103. Mr. Rentonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that local authorities are uncertain as to whether or not it is in order for them when laying new water mains to provide connections from them to the boundaries of properties free of charge; and what steps he will take to clarify the matter.
