I think if it’s on your property it’s your indaba. We had a bunfight about a similar issue with the water board.

Not come across that one before. That's my understanding but you would have thought they'd cap the old supply when installing the new one? Is there a scenario in which you could have two mains feeds into one property?
I had planned to rip up the front anyway at some point to take it the old concrete ramp and possibly tidy up the water and gas feeds in to the house but was hoping to put it off for another year. Now have to tackle it in the next 3 months before my baby arrives
How'd your one work out? I'm guessing the water board won?
It's actually quite a relief to have a reason behind the damp issues even if it will be a massive hassle to sort out.

In other news I think I found the source of the rising damp in my house. An old water main that appears not to have been decommissioned. Current supply comes in by the front door, this is at the bottom of an arm's- length pipe in a concrete floor in my hall. The water there pooled up in 5 mins before I took the photo so I basically have a small spring under my floor. Utter fuckers. I'm going to have to dig up my front garden aren't I; or is there some way I can make the water board fix this? Is there any responsibility on the waterboard for decommissioning the old supply when they installed the new one? The current main is right outside my gate, so at least I have a good idea where it's running ( in theory).
