    Beejay – that's a reasonably good outcome, but I'm not sure about the pipe being entirely your problem or that of the O/C.

    The fact that the Water Authority is fixing the leak confirms my initial thoughts that because the tap controls the water supply to the whole Plan, it's their responsibility, as is the section of pipe from their Main to that tap.

    So whilst I don't know how much of that section of pipe (above) is on the service corridor / council verge and how much is on your property, I'd suggest you ask the Water Authority about relocating or diverting part of the section of pipe that leads from their Main to the isolating tap, so that the tap's then on Common Property.

    It would then be the O/C's responsibility to relocate or divert the section of pipe after the isolating tap so that it rejoins the section that connects with the individual meters to Lots within the Plan.

    Sorry for the somewhat complex explanation.
