Shared water supply - lead pipe replacement

3.5K Posts


in Water Bills
We are currently on a shared water main with 3 other houses (2 lots of semi detached). 1930’s build, old lead pipes. One neighbour on the shared supply has had a couple of leaks in the last 3 or 4 years, in their overgrown garden and it’s taken over a week to locate their leak and get it fixed. In the meantime, we all suffer with almost zero water pressure. Frustrating.
I’ve been quoted between £2.5k and £3k to fit a new supply and meter from the main than runs out the front footpath. Is there any way of reducing this cost? Should Affinity Water be replacing old lead pipes anyway?
I need to get it done, just it’s quite an expense at present
