      We have a small complex of 3 Tenanted Strata Units all fitted with Rain Water Harvest Tanks.
      We recently had a broken valve in one of these tanks and it cost us $3,400 in water usage as the water was metered.

      Has any one experienced a similar problem?

          I’ve never come across rain water tanks in strata before so I’m guessing the numbers of similar experiences are limited.

          However, the general rule is that anything that services only one unit is the responsibility of the owner of that unit. It might come under your landlord insurance, if you have it.  It would certainly be worth a call to your insurer.
