United Utilities - Sewage in a stream

in Water bills
Hi,
I have had contact from United Utilities who say that one of my pipes has been incorrectly plumbed and has been draining into a local stream. My property is old and has had an extension attached 36 years ago. United Utilities state that it was at this point that the drains have been connected to the wrong sewage system. The property had drainage at that time so i don't understand how this would be the point that it went to the 'wrong' sewer.
Anyway my point is I had a survey carried out which didn't identify this. Also my solicitors were not aware of this situation. I am now being left with a big bill (in excess of 20 grand) and I wanted to know if anyone else has had similar issues or anyone who has more experience of similar situations. Any help that could be given would be great.
Apologises if this is the wrong forum.
Thanks
