    Beejay – I know that this doesn’t resolve your entire problem, but if the tap that you’re referring to isolates the supply to the whole Plan, then it’s likely to be the property of your local Water Supply Authority, and they’re responsible for all maintenance & repairs.

    I’d suggest you contact that Water Supply Authority yourself, and tell them that the main tap is leaking badly and that the water is affecting your garden; that may be a slight exaggeration, but it will get a timely response.

    Try to be home when the maintenance people are on-site, and ask them about the procedure involved in having the tap relocated. They may not know the detail, but they’ll steer you in the right direction.

    I know that you may be doing your Owners Corporation’s (O/C) work, but at least in this way you’ll know more about the situation, and you’ll be in a better position to make your point to that O/C and the Strata Manager.

    Have contacted Water Board today who will fix the leak but because the water line is on private property the problem is with me the owner and the body corporate/strata management.Have also been advised that the water cannot be turned off under any circumstances.Will now have to wait for next AGM to see what if any progress can be made.
