Thus, in article 22 of the Law no. 10/ 1995 regarding the quality in constructions, it is stipulated the obligation of the real estate investors that at the end of the process of building the assembly of individual or collective dwellings, but also of the constructions of public utility, not to carry out the reception of the works and not to put them into use without making connections to the utility infrastructure networks.

At the same time, the new regulation provides for the possibility of carrying out the works of connection to the network of public utilities in the absence of an authorization issued by the competent authorities for this purpose. However, even if this prerequisite has been eliminated, the connection works must be carried out in accordance with the local urban planning provisions, as well as with the agreement of the road administrator.
