Hi… Jockettuk

From this image you should be able to workout who is responsible for which section of pipe work from the street mains.



A = Water mains is the responsibility of the water boards
B = External Stop Tap "Ditto above"

Dotted Property Boundary Line any pipe work your side is your responsibility including

C = Service pipe
D = Internal stop tap "this could be inside or outside"
Plus all internal pipe work within your dwelling.
