Hello, I want to consult. Our residential property privately digs wells to connect to the main pipeline for the owners to collect water.

Anyone who violates the water law will be ordered to stop the illegal act and be fined 20,000 to100,000 yuan depending on the circumstances.

People's Republic of China (PRC) water law

Article 69 In case of any of the following acts, the water administrative department of the people's government at or above the county level or the river basin management institution shall, according to their functions and powers, order them to stop the illegal act, take remedial measures within a time limit and impose a fine of not less than 20,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, its water permit shall be revoked:

(1) taking water without approval;

(two) failing to take water in accordance with the conditions stipulated in the approved water intake permit.
