Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the rural property could be compelled to connect to the public sewer under the Water Protection Act and Ordinance.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The property was outside the building zone, produced polluted wastewater, and the connection could reasonably be required under the statutory criteria.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that art. 11 para. 2 let. c LEaux and art. 12 para. 1 let. b OEaux were satisfied because the connection was technically feasible and the relevant cost, assessed on the owner's actual burden, was not sensibly higher than comparable connections in the building zone.
