How could an industrial sized hookup be installed without the water company knowing? At first glance that doesn’t seem possible and it’s more likely someone at the water company dropped the ball or was being shady.

If they tapped into the water supply without the water company’s knowledge then they have a clear path to legal action. The fact that doesn’t seem to be a factor makes me think this was an oversight the water company doesn’t want to acknowledge. Just a hunch.
