Yeah but unclear how I go about ascertaining who's connected to that pipe
Get your plumber to cut it and cap it. Tell the neighbours and whoever hasn’t got any water can pay to fix it. Fuck paying for someone else’s utilities.

I've went down with a hammer as a back up to smash the lead closed over if it gets biblical down there whilst cranking another hose clip on it for now
I'd feel bad fucking people over for water in winter by going down this route and capping it off Plumber 2 who attended suggested Fibrefix, failed. Still awaiting plumber 1 to reconvene with the Admiralty as to what they are going to do for me. I think next time I'll go with a more expensive insurer..

Unless there's an easement over the property for the water supply.
@Pmccee - your conveyancer should have picked this up, or it may be on the land registry.
If it's not - cap the fucker.
There could, I guess (IANAL etc... and I could be million miles from being right) be an inferred easement, as it's been there forever. In which case, don't cap it, but do charge the neighbours.

Yeah but unclear how I go about ascertaining who's connected to that pipe. I'd need to get everyone on the street to check under their house, explain to them they are responsible for maintaining it and get them to pay for it. I probably wouldn't get very far with that. However if it comes back to costing a fortune I guess I/the insurer will need to go down that route.
Admiral insurance emergency plumber has turned up.erc. Stuck his head into the hatch, made his excuses about having to consult with the insurer and left. Fuck sake man if this thing got worse I'd be shafted.
