Real Estate / Water Company in Poland laying new pipes through my garden and outbuildings... [12]
Hi there. I am English, but moved to Poland some 12 years ago, and so still unsure about Polish laws and regulations.
I live in a small village in the Bieszczady region, not far from Solina, and the water company are laying new pipes through the village. Now, instead of doing the easy thing, running the pipes along the side of the main road, they are laying them through peoples gardens etc, in some cases, knocking down/demolishing established buildings/woodsheds etc that are in the way (as long as they are not concrete built I believe this is allowed)
Anyway, what I would like to know, is in the UK, and most of mainland Europe, this company would need to recompense the customer for damaging hsi land/buildings, and even put right was has been destroyed (gardens, driveways etc) by the heavy machinery.....Is this the case in Poland? the local Wojt (not sure I have spelt that correctly - head man of the village) is very reluctant to hand over details of the company, and just says that the villagers must accept what is happening, and shut up!
So...all advice, help etc is greatly appreciated - We have 2 weeks before work commences, so the more information we have the better we can fight them!
