Hi JeremyS

The answer to your question depends upon the answers to a number of other questions.

If a pipe is to be found entirely within the boundaries of the lot and is for the exclusive use of the lot, it will be the lot owner's responsibility to maintain, repair, renew or replace.

If the pipe is located partly within the boundaries of the lot and partly within common property walls, floor or ceiling, then a variety of conclusions as to responsibility can be made depending upon a range of factors.
