# The Waterfall Country Estate has challenged fines imposed by the City of Johannesburg for illegal water connections. The Johannesburg High Court has heard arguments, with estate lawyers calling the charges unlawful and non-compliant with city by-laws. They are not disputing the illegal connections but argue the fines are excessive. The metro claims the estate and affiliated entities are connected to the bulk water system without approval. Judge Stuart Wilson has reserved judgment after dismissing the metro’s application for a postponement.
