The water main for your property provides fresh, clean water to your home. Inside your house, you will have an internal stop tap (commonly found in the kitchen), and the water main will run to from the external stop tap (commonly found in the pathway/road outside your property).

However, sometimes a property might share an external stop tap with several surrounding properties, in this instance turning off the external stop tap will cut the supply to all connected properties. You are responsible for the pipework that connects your property to the external stop tap, it is important to make sure that the water main that connects your property remains in good working order. Therefore, you are responsible for making sure that any water main repairs are carried out.
