    ust to add that it can also depend on where you live.

    In Victoria (and it seems in the ACT?)  a service (eg water) becomes an owner responsibility from where it branches to serve just the owner’s lot.   And this is regardless of whether it goes through common property or not.

    It can be complex at times. 

    Unless it’s obviously the owner’s responsibility, our OC would initiate an investigation or repair and then charge, or partly charge,  the owner (or attempt to) if it ends up being an owner responsibility.
