External water stop tap
I live in a terraced house with a shared water supply with three other houses. I'm second in the supply chain. I have a water stop tap that connects to the mains supply in my back garden. it is sited below ground in a brick lined hole and a metal lid. Whose responsibility is it to undertake repairs to this tap should it fail?
