Our strata is in NSW. One of the common property taps was leaking so needed to be replaced this tap is on common property. An extension to this tap goes through a wall and services another lot that is a courtyard. the strata manager informed the owner that the common property tap had to be fixed (for 100’s of dollars) and as the lot owners tap was attached to the same pipe requested the lot owner to pay under $100 to replace the lot owners tap. the lot owner refused to pay and expected the SP to pay as the ‘branch tap’ within the owners lots was working fine. Note: other owners taps within the complex run off common property water pipes.

As the lot owners tap was within their lot and through a hole in the wall (part common and part lot) and albeit attached to common property infrastructure and not original (and we believe was put on by a previous owner in the distant past) – is the Strata Mgr and EC correct in not replacing the tap as the owner refused – as strata monies are not to be used for individual lots. the owner is threatening legal action to replace their lot tap by the SP.
