The trouble is I'm not in the country and our letting agents have shown themselves to be feckless.
The Water Co. said there was a leak following an inspection - but this was apparently done on a rainy day, and the other houses did not feel it was carried out properly. Then when they pushed Water Co. installed a meter so No. 1 - 5 could all shut off / not use their water at once. The meter still showed water usage indicating a leak. This test by No.s 1-5 only happened a couple of weeks ago.
My main concern is how I approach it with; a) my current landlord + building insurers, and b) my soon to be private home + contents insurers.
I'm nervous about getting stuck with a massive bill and being uninsured.
Also I'm generally unclear of what Water Co's liability is in respect of the pipe.
